Extract fan cleaning in Nursling
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. If you have a smell of hot grease from the extract and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Nursling, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. We plan the journey to Nursling and bring what the job is likely to need.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
Extract fan cleaning around Nursling
Nursling is within about 2 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency data counts about 30 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 14 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Nursling, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Nursling. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Nursling Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Historic houses near Nursling, such as South Stoneham House about 4 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Common questions in Nursling
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Nursling in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Nursling, the Food Standards Agency lists about 12 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Which fire service covers Nursling?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Nursling. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Common problems we fix in Nursling
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Church and community hall kitchens, near Lord's Hill Church or anywhere around Nursling, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Why deal with it now?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. Around Nursling, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Nursling
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
