Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Parkhurst
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you’ll get a fixed price, usually within one working day. Typical jobs include fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and weak extraction at the canopy, across roof-mounted fans, discharge points and fan housings.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Extract fan cleaning around Parkhurst
The Food Standards Agency lists about 17 pubs and bars and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses in and around Parkhurst, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Parkhurst. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Parkhurst sits within the area of 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.
A hospital like St Mary's Hospital, about less than half a mile south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Historic houses near Parkhurst, such as Carisbrooke Castle about 2.1 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hunnyhill Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Other services in Parkhurst
Managing agents and facilities teams in Parkhurst
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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 can quote for the whole system.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
Questions from Parkhurst
Which fire service covers Parkhurst?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Parkhurst. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Parkhurst in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 17 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Parkhurst. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How long is a fan clean?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Parkhurst knowing what to expect.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
