Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Extract fan cleaning in Netley, done properly
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers centrifugal fans, discharge points and in-line fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and a fan that has never been cleaned.
In a smaller place like Netley, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What happens if it’s left?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. Booking now means the visit to Netley is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why Netley businesses choose us

Grease, kitchens and Netley
The coast is only about 1 mile from Netley. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 22 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 15 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Netley, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. In Netley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Eastleigh council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Coldeast about 2.8 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Netley Abbey Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Netley is about 3 miles north-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Netley gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, large and small.
Here we cover the SO31 postcode area for extract fan cleaning. If you need extract fan cleaning at premises on Station Road, The Crescent and Hunt Avenue or a nearby road, we can help. If your site is just outside Netley, we cover Butlocks Heath (1 mile north-east), Hound (1 mile south-east), Weston (1 mile north-west), Old Netley (1 mile north-east) and Lowford (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also cover Winchester (13 miles north), Gosport (10 miles south-east), Eastleigh (6 miles north), Fareham (7 miles east), Horndean (15 miles east) and Totton (8 miles west).
Local landmarks in Netley

Not far away are Mercury Marshes.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Netley, so let us know how to reach it.
- 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
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged fan blades
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What the work covers

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Netley
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Weak extraction at the canopy
A kitchen near Netley station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Netley questions
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan cleaning in Netley?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Netley gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Which fire authority looks after Netley?
Netley is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you work in Netley?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Netley.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so you always know what was cleaned.
