What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shalden Green
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Shalden Green, typically within one working day. If you have a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Shalden Green
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Run the extract throughout cooking
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Shalden Green: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Shalden Green?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you get to a site in Shalden Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Shalden Green included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll plan the visit around them.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Shalden Green?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it can’t be reached fully, the report says so.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Shalden Green can be planned properly.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- 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
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Common problems we fix in Shalden Green
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Grease stains around the discharge
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Burning smells from the fan area
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Alton Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Shalden Green, about 3.3 miles south.
