Extract fan cleaning in Matchams
In Matchams, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you have weak extraction at the canopy and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Part by part
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

Grease, kitchens and Matchams
Matchams 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. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Matchams. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Avon Tyrrell House is about 3.6 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Leonard's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Matchams, about 1.7 miles west.
Matchams is in Hampshire. We carry out extract fan cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Matchams and the rest of Hampshire. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 20 miles away.

What happens if it’s left?
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. A fault that closes a site in a village like Matchams affects everyone who depends on it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Matchams and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What else we do in Matchams
How we price extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Need a price for extract fan cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Matchams
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Matchams: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Matchams?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Matchams needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire authority looks after Matchams?
Matchams is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Is Matchams in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Matchams, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
An unbalanced impeller, typically from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
