Hampshire · Extract fan cleaning
Meonstoke extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning across Meonstoke and nearby, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with photos.
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Meonstoke is calmer for everyone.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Extract fan cleaning in Meonstoke, done properly
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. Common call-outs are for a motor area thick with grease and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, across discharge points, in-line fans and axial fans.
Somewhere as small as Meonstoke, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extracts in Meonstoke
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Meonstoke, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Fire safety in Meonstoke falls to 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 Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Meonstoke. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Hinton Ampner House, about 4.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Meonstoke; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. School kitchens, at schools like Meonstoke Church of England Infant School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Meonstoke questions
Do you cover smaller places like Meonstoke?
Yes, Meonstoke is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come to Meonstoke after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Meonstoke does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Meonstoke?
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Meonstoke, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether a survey comes first
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the price is fixed
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- Damaged fan blades
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Meonstoke knowing what to expect.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
