FAQs for Hiltingbury
Do you work overnight in Hiltingbury?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Hiltingbury can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which council inspects kitchens in Hiltingbury?
Food hygiene inspections in Hiltingbury are carried out by Eastleigh council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Before and after photos go into a report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you work in Hiltingbury?
Yes. We work in Hiltingbury and across Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Extract fan cleaning in Hiltingbury
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. If you are dealing with grease escaping from the fan outlet and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, we can help, from fan housings, roof-mounted fans and discharge points onwards.
In a smaller place like Hiltingbury, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Grease, kitchens and Hiltingbury
The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in and around Hiltingbury, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Hiltingbury sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Eastleigh council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hiltingbury. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hospital like Romsey Community Hospital, about 4.2 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Hiltingbury Junior School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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 to a regular schedule.
Leave it or put it right?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Booking now means the visit to Hiltingbury is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

When to call us in Hiltingbury
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A motor area thick with grease
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (South Stoneham House is about 4.3 miles south), access may need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed

How we price extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
If you need extract fan cleaning in Hiltingbury, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
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.
How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. For a place like Hiltingbury, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
