Extract fan cleaning in Monkwood, done properly
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are a noisy fan that has got louder over time and less air being pulled from the kitchen.
In a small place like Monkwood, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Monkwood: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Monkwood?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Monkwood. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you cover smaller places like Monkwood?
Yes. Monkwood is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean will not mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Monkwood kitchens: local notes
In Monkwood, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Monkwood 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.8 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. A hospital like Alton Community Hospital, about 5.5 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Monkwood Mission Church or elsewhere in Monkwood, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Monkwood is about 6 miles south-west of Alton, in Hampshire. From the centre of Monkwood to the outskirts, extract fan cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, Monkwood among them. We also work in Southampton, around 18 miles away.
Work in SO24 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover.

Why deal with it now?
A fan clean in Monkwood doesn’t take long: the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. If the system at a site near Monkwood fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
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 explain each part.
Why book with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- A written report with pictures after each visit
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Leave a clear route to the fan
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that won’t start
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. The timing of a visit to Monkwood is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
