About our extract fan cleaning in North Baddesley
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you have a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, we can put it right, from centrifugal fans, axial fans and fan housings onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near North Baddesley, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

Food Standards Agency data counts about 14 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops in North Baddesley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. North Baddesley is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in North Baddesley get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in North Baddesley
A fan in North Baddesley builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints, or anywhere in North Baddesley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before booking
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. Even a site near North Baddesley that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What affects the quote in North Baddesley
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Because the survey comes first, a visit to North Baddesley can normally be finished without a second trip.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
