Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Extract fan cleaning in Northney
If the extract fan in Northney has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Northney, usually within one working day. Common call-outs are for vibration from an unbalanced impeller and grease around the motor and its mounts, on centrifugal fans, fan housings and discharge points.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Northney
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. It’s simpler to plan the work at Northney now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Northney: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Northney?
Food hygiene inspections in Northney are carried out by Havant council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is Northney within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Northney included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll book around them.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What affects the quote in Northney
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.

What else we do in Northney
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere as small as Northney, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Northney kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Northney, which sits within about 1 mile 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. There are about 9 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Northney and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Northney. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Warblington Castle, about 1.1 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Northney; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Northney is Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 2.1 miles north-west.
Northney is about 3 miles south-east of Havant, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Northney, we can take on extract fan cleaning. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, and Northney is one of them.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What we are called out for in Northney
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
What we are most often called out for:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Burning smells from the fan area
Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Northney, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
