Extract fan cleaning in North Waltham, done properly
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. The work covers discharge points, fan housings and axial fans, and the jobs we see most are a smell of hot grease from the extract and grease stains around the discharge.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
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. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Take a look at how cleaning jobs are priced and our accreditations.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in North Waltham
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Common questions in North Waltham
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in North Waltham?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers North Waltham. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work at weekends in North Waltham?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in North Waltham can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
A single accessible fan does not take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
What we are called out for in North Waltham
A greasy fan in North Waltham is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Park Prewett Hospital about 5.6 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to North Waltham and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
