How we price extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
About our extract fan cleaning in Ladwell
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. We’re often asked to deal with a fan that has never been cleaned and hot, greasy smells near the fan, on centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
Work in a small place like Ladwell starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Ladwell
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Common problems we fix in Ladwell
A greasy fan in Ladwell is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as John Keble Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Ladwell, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Before you book anyone

Ladwell: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ladwell?
Kitchens in Ladwell are inspected by Test Valley 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 clean school canteen extracts around Ladwell out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Ladwell. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
How long is a fan clean?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after pictures go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In a small place like Ladwell, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Extract fan cleaning in Ladwell: the local picture

It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ladwell. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Ladwell sits within the area of 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.

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
