What a clean will not put right
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A motor that has burnt out
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Lower Pennington
Not all extract fans are the same: 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 the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that has never been cleaned and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease.
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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What else we do in Lower Pennington
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Questions from Lower Pennington
Can sea air affect extract fan cleaning in Lower Pennington?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Lower Pennington gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Is Lower Pennington within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Before and after photos go into a report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Leave a clear route to the fan
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Extract fan cleaning around Lower Pennington
Lower Pennington lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records include about 20 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Lower Pennington. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Lower Pennington, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
School kitchens, at schools like Priestlands School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Lower Pennington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 2 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How it works
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, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. For a village or hamlet like Lower Pennington, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- 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
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
