Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
About our extract fan cleaning in Lovedean
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. Common call-outs are for a fan that no longer moves enough air and grease around the motor and its mounts, on roof-mounted fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
In a village or hamlet like Lovedean, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Run the extract throughout cooking
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
FAQs for Lovedean
Do you work at weekends in Lovedean?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Lovedean within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Lovedean included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Grease, kitchens and Lovedean
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Lovedean. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Lovedean get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Lovedean sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
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 Lovedean, about 4.3 miles south-east. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Woodcroft Primary, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Lovedean
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
What we do, step by step
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. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In a small place like Lovedean, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

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. Somewhere as small as Lovedean, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
