About our extract fan cleaning in Pilley Bailey
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. If you have grease escaping from the fan outlet and a heavily greased fan housing, we can help.
In a small place like Pilley Bailey, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Pilley Bailey
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. It’s simpler to plan the work at Pilley Bailey now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Pilley Bailey
Can you get to a site in Pilley Bailey?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Pilley Bailey is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Pilley Bailey during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Pilley Bailey, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
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.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Pilley Bailey and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Extract fan cleaning around Pilley Bailey
Sea air reaches Pilley Bailey, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Pilley Bailey and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Pilley Bailey. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint Nicholas Chapel, or anywhere in Pilley Bailey, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like William Gilpin Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Pilley Bailey.

Common problems we fix in Pilley Bailey
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
What we are most often called out for:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Beaulieu Palace House is about 4 miles north-east), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
What a clean will not put right
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
