Hunny Hill extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Hunny Hill. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.

- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Extract fan cleaning in Hunny Hill, done properly
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. If you have a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can help.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Hunny Hill gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Damaged fan blades
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
Leave it or put it right?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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 extract fan cleaning looks like in Hunny Hill
The FSA’s data shows about 20 pubs, bars and clubs and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in Hunny Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Hunny Hill 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. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Hunny Hill. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hunny Hill (Carisbrooke Castle is about 1.3 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mary's Hospital (about less than half a mile north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hunnyhill Primary School or anywhere near Hunny Hill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep records of every fan clean
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We plan the journey to Hunny Hill and bring what the job is likely to need.
- 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.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Hunny Hill
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Hunny Hill out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 18 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hunny Hill. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who inspects food businesses in Hunny Hill?
Kitchens in Hunny Hill are inspected by Isle of Wight council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will plan the visit around them.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
