How we handle extract fan cleaning in Ningwood
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. Typical jobs include a fan left out of previous cleans and a smell of hot grease from the extract, on in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points.
In a small place like Ningwood, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Leave a clear route to the fan
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Ningwood kitchens: local notes
Ningwood lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Ningwood sits within the area of 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. Food hygiene inspections in Ningwood are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Shalfleet Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Ningwood is St Mary's Hospital, about 5.9 miles east.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Ningwood
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
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, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like Ningwood, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan that will not start
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Ningwood
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Ningwood?
Ningwood 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.
Is extract fan cleaning any different in a coastal place like Ningwood?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Ningwood than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so you do not have to close during trading.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
