Grease, kitchens and Newchurch
Newchurch lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Newchurch. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Newchurch. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Haseley Manor is about 0.8 miles west), access may need planning. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Newchurch is Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, about 2.4 miles south-east.

The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Newchurch, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
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.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- 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 email us and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on in Newchurch
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across the Isle of Wight. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Newchurch
A fan in Newchurch builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Newchurch Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Newchurch
Is extract fan cleaning any different in a coastal place like Newchurch?
It can. Newchurch is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Do you work overnight in Newchurch?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
