About our extract fan cleaning in Landport
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Landport, normally within one working day. Common call-outs are for a fan that no longer moves enough air and an extract fan with no cleaning record, on centrifugal fans, axial fans and discharge points.
Around a smaller place like Landport, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Landport: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Landport?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Landport. 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 would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Landport?
In Landport, it’s Portsmouth council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Visits to a place like Landport are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- 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.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A motor that has burnt out
- Damaged fan blades
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Common problems we fix in Landport
A fan in Landport builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A motor area thick with grease
A kitchen near Portsmouth & Southsea station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Landport
Landport lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency data counts about 261 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 138 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Landport. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Kitchens in Landport get their food hygiene inspections from Portsmouth council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal Portsmouth Hospital about within half a mile south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. School kitchens, at schools like Ark Dickens Primary Academy for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
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.
