Extract Fan Cleaning in Little Ann
Extract fan cleaning in Little Ann from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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.
Extract fan cleaning in Little Ann, done properly
Any fan serving a kitchen in Little Ann 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’re dealing with a fan coated in grease inside its housing and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can help, from centrifugal fans, in-line fans and fan housings onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Little Ann questions
Do you work at weekends in Little Ann?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Little Ann can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Little Ann?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Little Ann. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What we are called out for in Little Ann
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Abbotts Ann Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Little Ann, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Grease, kitchens and Little Ann
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Little Ann. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Little Ann is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Little Ann, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 2.2 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Little Ann, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
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.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
If you need extract fan cleaning in Little Ann, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for most single fans. Visits to a village like Little Ann are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
