Extract fan cleaning in Hulverstone
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you are dealing with rough running from the extract fan and a fan left out of previous cleans, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Hulverstone starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Hulverstone run smoothly.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep records of every fan clean
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Questions from Hulverstone
Can sea air affect extract fan cleaning in Hulverstone?
It can. Hulverstone is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hulverstone?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hulverstone. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Why deal with it now?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Hulverstone rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that won’t start
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Hulverstone?
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Mottistone Manor, about 0.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Hulverstone; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Hulverstone kitchens: local notes
Hulverstone is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hulverstone, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Fire safety in Hulverstone falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Mary's Church, or anywhere in Hulverstone, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
