Extract fan cleaning in Sheet, done properly
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. Common call-outs are for a fan that has never been cleaned and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, on axial fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings.
In a village or hamlet like Sheet, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Sheet
A fan in Sheet builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Look out for any of the following:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A heavily greased fan housing
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Sheet Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Sheet
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Sheet?
That’s East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Sheet. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is Sheet within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
A common cause is grease. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking is not affected.
Grease, kitchens and Sheet
Food Standards Agency records list about 16 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Sheet, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Sheet are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Sheet is 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.
A hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital, about 1.3 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary Magdalene, or anywhere in Sheet, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Sheet is about 1 mile north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Sheet gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Sheet among them. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, roughly 16 miles from Sheet.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Sheet run smoothly.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Damaged fan blades
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
