Hampshire · Extract fan cleaning
Horndean extract fan cleaning
We cover Horndean for cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Why act early in Horndean
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. A small fault found now is a quick job; the same fault found later can close the site.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Why us?
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Every job surveyed first
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- One number for every site across the South East and London

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Horndean
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. Common call-outs are for a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, across discharge points, centrifugal fans and axial fans.
Most kitchens in a town like Horndean can’t close for a day, so the work is done after service, overnight or on a closed day. By the next service, the kitchen is ready to cook in again.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What we’re called out for in Horndean
How fast a fan gets greasy in Horndean depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Church and community hall kitchens, near Saint Wilfrid's or anywhere around Horndean, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- If they look at the system before pricing
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. 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. We arrive in Horndean once you’ve closed and leave the site ready for the morning.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

- An undersized fan that can’t cope

- Grease in the canopy and ductwork

- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings

What the work involves, part by part

Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Questions from Horndean
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Horndean?
In Horndean, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work overnight in Horndean?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Report rattles or humming early
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Make sure the fan is included each time
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
