About our extract fan cleaning in Shootash
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. Typical jobs include burning smells from the fan area and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, across discharge points, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans.
For a kitchen in or near Shootash, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Shootash
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
For extract fan cleaning in Shootash, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A fan that will not start
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Shootash questions
Can you work in Shootash outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Shootash keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Shootash?
Fire safety enforcement in Shootash 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.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan typically means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.

Other services in Shootash
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Shootash
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What we’re called out for in Shootash
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Romsey Community Hospital (about 2.9 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they recommend a next date
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, with any limits noted.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Extract fan cleaning around Shootash
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Shootash and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Kitchens in Shootash get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. 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. Shootash sits within the area of 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Shootash (Mottisfont Abbey is about 3 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Shootash, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Shootash and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
