How we handle extract fan cleaning in Moortown
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. If you have thick grease on the impeller and casing and less air being pulled from the kitchen, we can put it right, from discharge points, roof-mounted fans and axial fans onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Moortown, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.

Questions from Moortown
Can sea air affect extract fan cleaning in Moortown?
It can. Salt air reaches Moortown, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Do you work at weekends in Moortown?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Moortown does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Moortown
The coast is only about 2 miles from Moortown. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Moortown and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Moortown is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Mottistone Manor, about 1.3 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Moortown; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School or anywhere near Moortown, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Whitecroft Hospital is the nearest hospital to Moortown, about 4.5 miles east.
Moortown is about 6 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Moortown gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Our the Isle of Wight coverage runs to 125 places, Moortown among them. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, about 18 miles away.
Work in PO30 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. That includes premises on Main Road, Moor Lane and Upper Lane and the roads around them. If your site is just outside Moortown, we cover Brighstone (1 mile south), Thorncross (1 mile south-east), Shorwell (2 miles east), Little Atherfield (3 miles south-east) and Atherfield Green (3 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (6 miles north-east), Ryde (12 miles north-east), Cowes (9 miles north-east), Sandown (10 miles east), Shanklin (10 miles east) and Ventnor (9 miles south-east). If your site is somewhere remote, the visit takes a little more planning, so mention it when you ask for a quote.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
How we price extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
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 are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Moortown knowing what to expect.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Moortown
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
