Extract fan cleaning in Shide, done properly
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you are dealing with thick grease on the impeller and casing and less air being pulled from the kitchen, we can help.
For a smaller kitchen near Shide, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
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, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
What we are called out for in Shide
A fan in Shide 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.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A motor area thick with grease
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Carisbrooke Castle is about 1 mile west), access may need planning.
Comparing quotes
- What insurance they carry
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Keep access to the fan clear
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
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.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a place like Shide, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. Even a site near Shide that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Questions from Shide
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Shide?
Fire safety enforcement in Shide is handled by 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.
Who inspects food businesses in Shide?
In Shide, it’s Isle of Wight council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
When it’s something else
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Shide kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 64 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 21 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Shide. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Shide. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Shide. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Nine Acres Primary School or anywhere near Shide, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hospital like St Mary's Hospital, about 1.3 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
