Hampshire · Extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning in Lower Green, Hampshire
Extract fan cleaning in Lower Green from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lower Green
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. The work covers discharge points, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about grease escaping from the fan outlet and burning smells from the fan area.
For a kitchen in or near Lower Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Kitchen extracts in Lower Green
Lower Green sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Lower Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Lower Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Lower Green is Petersfield Community Hospital, about 4.1 miles south.

What else we do in Lower Green
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing after isolating them.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan clean in Lower Green does not take long: the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. If the system at a site near Lower Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
