How we handle extract fan cleaning in Middle Wallop
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. Common call-outs are for a fan coated in grease inside its housing and less air being pulled from the kitchen, across axial fans, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans.
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 have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Middle Wallop
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Run the extract throughout cooking
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. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Part by part
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and grease builds up on them unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Middle Wallop can be planned properly.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

FAQs for Middle Wallop
Do you work overnight in Middle Wallop?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Middle Wallop needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Middle Wallop included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we’ll tell you and quote for the repair.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Middle Wallop
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan left out of previous cleans
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Middle Wallop, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
