Isle of Wight · Extract fan cleaning
Hillway extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning for Hillway, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning the fan in Hillway now is a short job: the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. In a place like Hillway, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

Extract fan cleaning in Hillway
Any fan serving a kitchen in Hillway 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. If you have thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan left out of previous cleans, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Hillway, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each 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.

Questions from Hillway
Can the work in Hillway be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you come out to Hillway?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hillway included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How long is a fan clean?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What affects the quote in Hillway
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Report rattles or humming early
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Hillway
At about 1 mile from the coast, Hillway is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The Food Standards Agency lists about 9 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hillway. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hillway. 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.
For schools such as Bembridge Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hillway (Yaverland Manor is about 1.6 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children about 4.7 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Hillway is about 4 miles south-east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Whether your site is in the middle of Hillway or further out, extract fan cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Our area takes in 125 places across the Isle of Wight, large and small. There’s also a page for Portsmouth, about 9 miles away.
Every address in PO35 is covered for extract fan cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. We cover sites on Hillway Road and Jenny Streets Lane and the roads around them. Close by, we work in Bembridge (1 mile north-east), Foreland Fields (1 mile north-east), St Helens (2 miles north-west), Gaskins (2 miles north-west) and Yaverland (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Newport (9 miles west), Ryde (4 miles north-west), Cowes (11 miles north-west), Sandown (3 miles south-west), Shanklin (5 miles south-west) and Ventnor (7 miles south-west). Remote and island sites need a little more planning, so tell us where you are when you ask for a quote for extract fan cleaning.
Around Hillway
Around Hillway, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Propeller Inn and Bembridge School, among other places. The closest station to Hillway is Brading station, about 1.8 miles west. Other landmarks nearby include Sandown Castle (2.6 miles south-west) and Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (4.7 miles south-west). Not far away are Bembridge Down and Brading Marshes RSPB reserve.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Hillway can be planned properly.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across the Isle of Wight. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
