Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Headley
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Headley
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. If you’re dealing with hot, greasy smells near the fan and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Headley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Extract fan cleaning in Headley: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Headley. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. In Headley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Headley falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Headley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Holme Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Headley knowing what to expect.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
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 the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. We clean them where they can be safely reached, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

What we are called out for in Headley
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Rough running from the extract fan
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Headley is Chase Community Hospital, about 1.9 miles south-west.

Common questions in Headley
Is Headley within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Headley included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work overnight in Headley?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Headley can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
