Extract fan cleaning in Heath End, Hampshire
One call covers extract fan cleaning in Heath End: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Burning smells from the fan area
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Report rattles or humming early
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Check filters are seated before cooking
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Extract fan cleaning in Heath End, done properly
Any fan serving a kitchen in Heath End is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers axial fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a heavily greased fan housing and a fan shaking on its mounts.
Work in a small place like Heath End starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A fan that won’t start
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
When to call us in Heath End
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
A hospital like Park Prewett Hospital, about 5.9 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of insurance
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and grease builds up on them unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.

What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. The timing of a visit to Heath End is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Common questions in Heath End
Do you work in villages like Heath End?
Yes. Heath End is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work overnight in Heath End?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Heath End doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t start while we work. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
