Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shanklin
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. We’re often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mounts and rough running from the extract fan, across in-line fans, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans.
For a smaller kitchen near Shanklin, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Leave it or put it right?
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. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Shanklin at a time that suits you.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What a clean won’t put right
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that will not start
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

Kitchen extracts in Shanklin
Shanklin lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The Food Standards Agency lists about 18 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 58 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses in and around Shanklin, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Shanklin get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A kitchen near Shanklin station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Paul's Church, or anywhere in Shanklin, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, about under half a mile north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. In a smaller place like Shanklin, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- 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
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Shanklin: your questions answered
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Shanklin during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Shanklin, the Food Standards Agency lists about 5 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire authority looks after Shanklin?
Shanklin 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.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Is Shanklin in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Shanklin, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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. Leave those to us.
