How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. The timing of a visit to Priddy's Hard is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Priddy's Hard
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers discharge points, axial fans and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and rough running from the extract fan.
In a small place like Priddy's Hard, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing after isolating them.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Why it’s worth doing now in Priddy's Hard
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Priddy's Hard rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Every visit written up, with pictures

Priddy's Hard questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Priddy's Hard?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Priddy's Hard. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Does being near the coast affect extract fan cleaning in Priddy's Hard?
It can, as Priddy's Hard is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Priddy's Hard?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Kitchen extracts in Priddy's Hard
Sea air reaches Priddy's Hard, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 157 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 59 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Priddy's Hard, 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 Gosport council inspect food businesses in Priddy's Hard. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Gosport War Memorial Hospital about 1.4 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Priddy's Hard, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Vincent College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
