How we price extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Extract fan cleaning in Ibthorpe
In Ibthorpe, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are weak extraction at the canopy and a smell of hot grease from the extract.
In a village or hamlet like Ibthorpe, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Kitchen extracts in Ibthorpe
In Ibthorpe, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Ibthorpe. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Andover War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ibthorpe, about 4.9 miles south. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Ibthorpe, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Ibthorpe (Stargroves is about 4.9 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for most single fans. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Ibthorpe run smoothly.
- 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.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Why it’s worth doing now in Ibthorpe
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. A planned visit to Ibthorpe is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Full insurance on every job

Part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A motor that has burnt out
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points

Questions from Ibthorpe
Which fire service covers Ibthorpe?
Fire safety enforcement in Ibthorpe is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work in villages like Ibthorpe?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Ibthorpe is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
