When to call us in Stoke
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital about 2.4 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

About our extract fan cleaning in Stoke
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Typical jobs include grease stains around the discharge and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, on axial fans, in-line fans and discharge points.
Work in a small place like Stoke starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
A fan clean in Stoke does not take long: the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. Somewhere as small as Stoke, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.

Questions from Stoke
Who inspects food businesses in Stoke?
Kitchens in Stoke are inspected by Havant council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is Stoke within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stoke included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
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 we start.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Stoke before we set off.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Extract fan cleaning around Stoke
Stoke is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Stoke. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Stoke is covered by 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Stoke, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Hayling College or anywhere near Stoke, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
