Extract fan cleaning in Plaish
We have been trading since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. If you have burning smells from the fan area and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, we can put it right, from roof-mounted fans, axial fans and centrifugal fans onwards.
Somewhere as small as Plaish, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Plaish?
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Rough running from the extract fan
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St. Nicholas in Castro or elsewhere in Plaish, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before you book anyone
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
How we price extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Plaish run smoothly.
- 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.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Plaish
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Plaish?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Plaish. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is Plaish within the area you cover?
Yes. Plaish is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after pictures go into a report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.

Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Plaish are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. 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. Plaish sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

What the work involves, part by part

The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
