Lindford extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning for Lindford, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
What we’re called out for in Lindford
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Lindford is Chase Community Hospital, about 1.1 miles south-west.

Extract fan cleaning in Lindford
Any fan serving a kitchen in Lindford is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you have a motor area thick with grease and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, we can put it right, from roof-mounted fans, axial fans and centrifugal fans onwards.
In a smaller place like Lindford, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why deal with it now?
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Lindford than wait for a failure.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Report rattles or humming early
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Extract fan cleaning in Lindford: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs, bars and clubs across Lindford and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Lindford is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Lindford. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Lindford, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. 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 smaller place like Lindford, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)

Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
