Sherborne St John extract fan cleaning
One call covers cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points in Sherborne St John, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Weak extraction at the canopy
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Sherborne St John are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Sherborne St John
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you are dealing with a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and grease around the motor and its mounts, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Sherborne St John, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Sherborne St John
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Somewhere as small as Sherborne St John, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Kitchen extracts in Sherborne St John
Food Standards Agency data counts about 9 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways in Sherborne St John and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Kitchens in Sherborne St John get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. 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. Fire safety in Sherborne St John falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

What affects the quote in Sherborne St John
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed 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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Which environmental health team covers Sherborne St John?
The local authority for Sherborne St John is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
When to call us in Sherborne St John
A greasy fan in Sherborne St John is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (The Vyne is about 1.2 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether a survey comes first
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
