Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Langley
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. If you have a fan that no longer moves enough air and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Langley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Langley
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Why deal with it now?
For a kitchen in Langley, 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. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What you get with us
- Each visit written up, with photos
- In business since 2009
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures

Questions from Langley
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Langley?
Langley is in the area of 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.
Can school kitchens in Langley be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Langley. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so you don’t have to close during trading.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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’s our job.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Langley?
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
School kitchens, at schools like Blackfield Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. The timing of a visit to Langley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by 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. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep access to the fan clear
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. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Make sure the fan is reachable. 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.
Extract fan cleaning around Langley
Langley is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 6 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Langley. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Fire safety in Langley falls to 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Beaulieu Palace House is about 3.5 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. A hospital like Coldeast, about 5.8 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Langley is about 4 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire.
