Extract Fan Cleaning in Hollingrove
Professional extract fan cleaning in and around Hollingrove, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
About our extract fan cleaning in Hollingrove
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Hollingrove, usually within one working day. The work covers centrifugal fans, axial fans and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are grease around the motor and its mounts and grease stains around the discharge.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Hollingrove
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Hollingrove?
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket, or anywhere in Hollingrove, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Hollingrove

- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems

- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

Questions from Hollingrove
Is Hollingrove within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hollingrove included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Hollingrove outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Hollingrove does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
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.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Hollingrove?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Hollingrove.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
