Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Norton
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. The work covers discharge points, centrifugal fans and in-line fans, and people most often call us about less air being pulled from the kitchen and vibration from an unbalanced impeller.
In a small place like Norton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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, next to our reports.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- An undersized fan that can’t cope

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Visits to a village like Norton are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- 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 where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
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 photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
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.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Norton
Does the sea air around Norton make a difference to extract fan cleaning?
It can. Salt air reaches Norton, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Norton?
Food hygiene inspections in Norton are carried out by Isle of Wight council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
