Milland extract fan cleaning
Our technicians work in Milland on extract fan cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Burning smells from the fan area
What affects the quote in Milland
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Milland
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers discharge points, roof-mounted fans and axial fans, and people most often call us about hot, greasy smells near the fan and a fan left out of previous cleans.
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 are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Kitchen extracts in Milland
Fire safety in Milland falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Milland, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital about 4.3 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hollycombe Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Milland is about 6 miles east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Across the GU30 area, we cover extract fan cleaning for commercial sites. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, large and small. We also work in Guildford, about 18 miles from Milland.
Work in GU30 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Extract fan cleaning is available to premises on Milland Lane, Mill Vale Meadows and Drakeleys Field and the roads around them. We also cover Trotton Marsh (1 mile south), Borden (2 miles south-west), Rake (2 miles west), Chithurst (2 miles south) and Rogate (3 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Havant (14 miles south-west), Horndean (13 miles south-west), Aldershot (15 miles north), Alton (11 miles north-west), Waterlooville (15 miles south-west) and Petersfield (6 miles west).
Landmarks near Milland
Around Milland, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Rising Sun pub, among other places. The nearest railway station is Liphook station, about 2.4 miles north of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Midhurst Community Hospital (4.3 miles south-east). Not far away are Wheeler's Down and Lynchmere Commons.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Make sure the fan is included each time
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
Milland questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Milland?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Milland?
Kitchens in Milland are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Common problems we fix in Milland
A greasy fan in Milland is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Where a hall near Tuxlith Chapel, or anywhere in Milland, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A fan that will not start
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Milland.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- 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
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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.
