Extract fan cleaning in Old Netley, done properly
Any fan serving a kitchen in Old Netley is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. If you are dealing with an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can put it right.
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.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Old Netley: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect extract fan cleaning in Old Netley?
Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, Old Netley gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Which environmental health team covers Old Netley?
In Old Netley, it’s Eastleigh council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
Is Old Netley in your area?
Yes. We cover Old Netley and the rest of Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
A common cause is grease. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
What else we do in Old Netley
Extract fan cleaning in Old Netley: the local picture
Old Netley is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Look up Old Netley on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 33 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 23 sandwich bars and takeaways in Old Netley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Environmental health officers from Eastleigh council inspect food businesses in Old Netley. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
School kitchens, at schools like Bursledon Church of England Infant School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Coldeast (about 2.3 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A motor that has burnt out
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
If you need extract fan cleaning in Old Netley, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. For a village or hamlet like Old Netley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get 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.
Advice
When to call us in Old Netley
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease stains around the discharge
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Paul’s Church, or anywhere in Old Netley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Report rattles or humming early
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, 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.
