Hampshire · Extract fan cleaning
Leigh Park extract fan cleaning
Cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points for commercial sites in Leigh Park and across Hampshire. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. When a site near Leigh Park shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
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.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Leigh Park
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. Common call-outs are for an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and grease stains around the discharge, across fan housings, discharge points and axial fans.
Kitchens around a place like Leigh Park are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
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 and sits alongside the report.

How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a place like Leigh Park, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Report rattles or humming early
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Leigh Park kitchens: local notes
Leigh Park is 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 shows about 44 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 44 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Leigh Park. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Leigh Park are the job of Havant council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Leigh Park (Warblington Castle is about 1.9 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Havant War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Leigh Park, about 1 mile south. For schools such as Riders Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Leigh Park
Can a school canteen extract in Leigh Park be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Leigh Park, the Food Standards Agency lists about 8 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Leigh Park?
Fire safety enforcement in Leigh Park 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.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking is not affected.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:

- A fan that won’t start
- An impeller that is bent or split

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How we price extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email 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. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
