Common questions in Shobley
Is Shobley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Shobley?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Every clean has a photo report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shobley
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. Typical jobs include a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, on centrifugal fans, in-line fans and discharge points.
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.
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.

Part by part
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Shobley?
A fan in Shobley builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A motor area thick with grease
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Shobley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Shobley
It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Shobley. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Shobley 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.
Historic houses near Shobley, such as Avon Tyrrell House about 3.9 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Leonard's Hospital about 5.7 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Shobley.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Advice
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
How we price extract fan cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Report grease escaping from the fan
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.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
