Extract Fan Cleaning in Holbury

- A heavily greased fan housing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Holbury?
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Cadland Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote shows VAT

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Holbury
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that’s what we clean. Typical jobs include a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan that has never been cleaned, on roof-mounted fans, fan housings and axial fans.
In a smaller place like Holbury, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Around Holbury, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- An impeller that’s bent or split
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Holbury: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Holbury?
Yes. Holbury is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the sea air around Holbury make a difference to extract fan cleaning?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Holbury than inland. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Holbury kitchens: local notes
At about 2 miles from the coast, Holbury is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Holbury. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Holbury is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Beaulieu Palace House is about 2.9 miles west), access may need planning. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Holbury is Coldeast, about 5.3 miles north-east.
Holbury is about 2 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO45, we can take on extract fan cleaning. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. You can also see our page for Southampton, roughly 6 miles from Holbury.
We work across the SO45 postcode area for extract fan cleaning and the streets around it. You’ll find streets such as Beechwood Road, Park Hill Close and Pondhead Close, and we cover them all for extract fan cleaning. We also cover the places around Holbury: Little Holbury (1 mile north-west), Roughdown (1 mile south), Hardley (1 mile north), Blackfield (1 mile south-east) and Langley (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Gosport (10 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north), Fareham (8 miles east), Totton (8 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (11 miles north) and Hedge End (7 miles north-east).
Local landmarks in Holbury
Around Holbury, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The New Forest Academy and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Netley station, roughly 3.8 miles north-east. Nearby you’ll also find Beaulieu Abbey And Display Of Monastic Life (3.1 miles west) and Calshot Castle (3.4 miles east). Not far away are Mercury Marshes.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Why act early in Holbury
Cleaning the fan in Holbury now is a short job: the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
