About our extract fan cleaning in Sandleheath
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you’ll get a fixed price, normally within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with a noisy fan that has got louder over time and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, on roof-mounted fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
In a village or hamlet like Sandleheath, 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.
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, and we are fully insured.

The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Visits to a village like Sandleheath are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow 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 need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. In a place like Sandleheath, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Sandleheath
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Sandleheath?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Sandleheath. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work overnight in Sandleheath?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Sandleheath needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
