- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
Extract fan cleaning in Linwood, done properly
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. Typical jobs include fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and burning smells from the fan area, across fan housings, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans.
For a kitchen in or near Linwood, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Common questions in Linwood
Do you work in villages like Linwood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Linwood?
Linwood is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site does not lose a service.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
Leave it or put it right?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why book with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Extract fan cleaning in Linwood: the local picture
Linwood sits within the area of 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. Food hygiene inspections in Linwood are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. 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.
Whether the kitchen is in Linwood itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge. In and around Linwood, as anywhere, the clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Linwood.
- 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.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
