Common problems we fix in Itchen Stoke
How fast a fan gets greasy in Itchen Stoke depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Historic houses near Itchen Stoke, such as Hinton Ampner House about 4 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Itchen Stoke kitchens: local notes
It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Itchen Stoke. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. About 56 miles out from central London, Itchen Stoke is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.

Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.

A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. It’s simpler to plan the work at Itchen Stoke now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for most single fans. For a village or hamlet like Itchen Stoke, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Get a fixed quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Report rattles or humming early
- 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.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
