Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Inner Avenue
In Inner Avenue, 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, fan housings and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and burning smells from the fan area.
For a smaller kitchen near Inner Avenue, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Inner Avenue.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Inner Avenue
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Inner Avenue?
Fire safety enforcement in Inner Avenue is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Inner Avenue during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 34 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Inner Avenue. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
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. 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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Inner Avenue
For a kitchen in Inner Avenue, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it usually is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

What else we do in Inner Avenue
How we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Extract fan cleaning in Inner Avenue: the local picture
Sea air reaches Inner Avenue, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 103 pubs and bars and about 25 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Inner Avenue. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Inner Avenue is 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.
Where a hall near Saint Mary's, or anywhere in Inner Avenue, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Bevois Town Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Inner Avenue
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal South Hants Hospital (about less than half a mile south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
