How we handle extract fan cleaning in Mottisfont
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. The work covers axial fans, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about a noisy fan that has got louder over time and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
In a village or hamlet like Mottisfont, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Why deal with it now?
For a kitchen in Mottisfont, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it typically is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. If the system at a site near Mottisfont fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Mottisfont
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a 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 pictures, so each one has its own record.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Mottisfont?
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A motor area thick with grease
For kitchens close to Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- An impeller that’s bent or split
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Visits to a village like Mottisfont are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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.
Kitchen extracts in Mottisfont
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Mottisfont. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Mottisfont is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Mottisfont. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. 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 Romsey Community Hospital about 4 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Mottisfont, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Mottisfont questions
Do you cover smaller places like Mottisfont?
Yes, Mottisfont 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 work in Mottisfont outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Mottisfont keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it cannot run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: every 3, 6 or 12 months. Some fans need attention sooner.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
