Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shorthampton
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. Typical jobs include hot, greasy smells near the fan and a fan that no longer moves enough air, on discharge points, centrifugal fans and fan housings.
Work in a small place like Shorthampton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Common problems we fix in Shorthampton
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
What we are most often called out for:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A motor area thick with grease
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Rough running from the extract fan
In and around Shorthampton, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we cannot reach goes on the report.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a written report and photos are included

Shorthampton: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Shorthampton?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Shorthampton does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Shorthampton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and send you a fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Shorthampton and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
