Extract fan cleaning in Hawley
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. If you are dealing with an extract fan with no cleaning record and grease around the motor and its mounts, we can put it right.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Hawley gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In a place like Hawley, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Common questions in Hawley
Which fire service covers Hawley?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Hawley. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work at weekends in Hawley?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Hawley keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Every clean has a photo report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Hawley?
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
School kitchens, at schools like Hawley Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Run the extract throughout cooking
You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Hawley
Food Standards Agency data counts about 44 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 30 sandwich bars and takeaways across Hawley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Hawley is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Hawley get their food hygiene inspections from Hart council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Hawley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you cook for passing trade around Blackwater station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. That is what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Leave it or put it right?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Booking now means the visit to Hawley is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
