Extract fan cleaning in St Ives, Hampshire
Need extract fan cleaning in St Ives? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan left out of previous cleans
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near St Ives, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- 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
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Extract fan cleaning in St Ives, done properly
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. If you’re dealing with grease stains around the discharge and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, we can help, from in-line fans, discharge points and fan housings onwards.
In a village or hamlet like St Ives, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in St Ives
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Report grease escaping from the fan
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.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in St Ives
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
What we are most often called out for:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease stains around the discharge
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Avon Tyrrell House is about 4.5 miles south-east), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why

What affects the quote in St Ives
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
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.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Grease, kitchens and St Ives
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers St Ives. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in St Ives get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For schools such as St Ives Primary & Nursery School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Leonard's Hospital about 1.8 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Questions from St Ives
Which fire authority looks after St Ives?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers St Ives. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you work in St Ives outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in St Ives keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What the work involves, part by part
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, once they’re isolated.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
