About our extract fan cleaning in Little London
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. If you’re dealing with a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, we can put it right, from in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Little London, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We are 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 have been trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Little London kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in Little London and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Little London are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Little London 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Saint Stephen's Church or elsewhere in Little London, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Little London
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Little London during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Little London. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Which fire service covers Little London?
Fire safety enforcement in Little London is handled by 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 one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Little London?
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Little London is Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 3.6 miles south.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Little London, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An impeller that is bent or split
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep access to the fan clear
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
