Extract fan cleaning in Penton Grafton, done properly
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans, and people most often call us about a fan left out of previous cleans and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles.
In a village or hamlet like Penton Grafton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Penton Grafton
Can you get to a site in Penton Grafton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Penton Grafton is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Penton Grafton after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Penton Grafton doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Grease, kitchens and Penton Grafton
Food Standards Agency records include about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Penton Grafton, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Penton Grafton get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Penton Grafton is covered by 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 Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 1.7 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Penton Grafton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Penton Grafton run smoothly.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know

- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Penton Grafton?
A greasy fan in Penton Grafton is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease stains around the discharge
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Harrow Way Community School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before booking anyone
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the quote shows VAT

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
If your staff spot something 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’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
