How we price extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lower Upham
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Kitchen extracts in Lower Upham
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Lower Upham. 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. Kitchens in Lower Upham get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hospital like Moorgreen Hospital, about 4.4 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Upham Church of England Aided Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What else we do in Lower Upham
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Lower Upham.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- 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
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

When to call us in Lower Upham
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Lower Upham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Lower Upham: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Lower Upham?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Lower Upham needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Lower Upham?
Food hygiene inspections in Lower Upham are carried out by Winchester City council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Allow an hour or two for most single fans. We will confirm the time when we quote.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Leave it or put it right?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. With notice, the visit to Lower Upham can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
