What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. For a village or hamlet like Ibworth, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Extract fan cleaning in Ibworth
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you have an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and grease stains around the discharge, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Leave a clear route to the fan
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Staff cleaning versus 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.
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. That is our job.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Ibworth: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Ibworth?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ibworth?
Kitchens in Ibworth are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane 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.
Do you cover Ibworth?
Yes. We work in Ibworth and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we’ll explain it and send you a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
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. In a place like Ibworth, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.

Ibworth kitchens: local notes
Ibworth is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Ibworth, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Park Prewett Hospital (about 3.1 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (The Vyne is about 4.8 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Ibworth is about 4 miles west of Basingstoke, in Hampshire.
