How we handle extract fan cleaning in Netley Marsh
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. Common call-outs are for a fan coated in grease inside its housing and burning smells from the fan area, on axial fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
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.
Think of the report as the 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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Netley Marsh
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Why act early in Netley Marsh
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. Planning a trip to Netley Marsh ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Photo reports with every job
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for most single fans. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Netley Marsh.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Netley Marsh?
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tatchbury Mount Hospital about 1.1 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Netley Marsh questions
Do you work in villages like Netley Marsh?
Yes, Netley Marsh is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Netley Marsh?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Netley Marsh. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
An unbalanced impeller, usually from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks, under BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
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.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Extract fan cleaning in Netley Marsh: the local picture
Netley Marsh is within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Netley Marsh. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Kitchens in Netley Marsh get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Netley Marsh Church of England Infant School or anywhere near Netley Marsh, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near Church of St Matthew, or anywhere in Netley Marsh, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors

Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
