Hampshire · Extract fan cleaning
Overton extract fan cleaning
Need extract fan cleaning in Overton? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- A motor area thick with grease
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Leave it or put it right?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. A planned visit to Overton fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- We diagnose before we treat
Extract fan cleaning in Overton, done properly
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. If you have fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and rough running from the extract fan, we can help.
For a smaller kitchen near Overton, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

For landlords and multi-site operators

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Extract fan cleaning around Overton
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Overton. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Overton is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Overton. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a café or takeaway near Overton station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Overton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like Overton Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Tell us when your site near Overton is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Related advice
Part by part
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Overton: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Overton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Overton included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire authority looks after Overton?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Overton. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
