Extract fan cleaning in Segensworth
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you are dealing with grease around the motor and its mounts and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, we can help, from fan housings, discharge points and in-line fans onwards.
In a small place like Segensworth, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Segensworth
At about 3 miles from the coast, Segensworth is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Look up Segensworth on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 60 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 12 sandwich bars and takeaways across Segensworth and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Segensworth sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For kitchens close to Swanwick station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. A hospital like Fareham Community Hospital, about 1.2 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Segensworth is about 3 miles north-west of Fareham, in Hampshire.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Segensworth?
How fast a fan gets greasy in Segensworth depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John, or anywhere in Segensworth, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Before booking anyone

- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the price is fixed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that sounds rough in Segensworth is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Planning a trip to Segensworth ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
When we have 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.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Segensworth.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
