Hampshire · Extract fan cleaning
Park Gate extract fan cleaning
For extract fan cleaning in Park Gate, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Extract fan cleaning in Park Gate, done properly
Any fan serving a kitchen in Park Gate is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers in-line fans, centrifugal fans and axial fans, and people most often call us about grease stains around the discharge and weak extraction at the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Park Gate, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Park Gate
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
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. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
You will not 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.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Park Gate and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Common questions in Park Gate
Who inspects food businesses in Park Gate?
Kitchens in Park Gate are inspected by Fareham council’s environmental health officers. 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 clean school canteen extracts around Park Gate out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 11 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Park Gate. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Park Gate?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Is Park Gate in your area?
Yes. We cover Park Gate and across Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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, and that is where we come in.
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Park Gate kitchens: local notes
At about 3 miles from the coast, Park Gate is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 10 pubs, bars and clubs across Park Gate and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Park Gate falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Park Gate is Fareham Community Hospital, about less than half a mile south-west. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Margaret Mary or elsewhere in Park Gate, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A kitchen near Swanwick station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
