About our extract fan cleaning in Pondwell
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you’re dealing with a fan that no longer moves enough air and a fan shaking on its mounts, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Pondwell, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What we’re called out for in Pondwell
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Nettlestone Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the price is fixed
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What else we do in Pondwell
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In a small place like Pondwell, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.

Pondwell kitchens: local notes
At about 2 miles from the coast, Pondwell is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 9 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels and guest houses across Pondwell and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Pondwell 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. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Gosport War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Pondwell, about 5.3 miles north. Where a hall near St. Peter's Church, or anywhere in Pondwell, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Pondwell: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Pondwell?
Kitchens in Pondwell are inspected by Isle of Wight council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Pondwell?
Pondwell is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How long is a fan clean?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, where it makes sense. We’ll often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan usually means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Pondwell?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Report rattles or humming early
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Pondwell is calmer for everyone.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
