Common questions in Stubbington
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stubbington?
That’s Fareham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Stubbington. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is extract fan cleaning any different in a coastal place like Stubbington?
It can. Salt air reaches Stubbington, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Extract fan cleaning in Stubbington, done properly
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. We’re often asked to deal with a motor area thick with grease and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, on centrifugal fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans.
Kitchens around a place like Stubbington are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Stubbington kitchens: local notes
At about 1 mile from the coast, Stubbington is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. There are about 17 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 9 takeaways and sandwich shops across Stubbington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. In Stubbington, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Fareham council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Rood Church, or anywhere in Stubbington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Crofton Anne Dale Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Stubbington is about 2 miles south-west of Fareham, in Hampshire. We carry out extract fan cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Stubbington and the rest of Hampshire.

Landmarks near Stubbington
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Osborne View pub, Crofton School and Stubbington House School. For rail, the closest station is Fareham station, roughly 2.3 miles north-east. Other landmarks nearby include Gosport War Memorial Hospital (3.7 miles south-east) and Carron Row Farm Museum (2.5 miles north). Not far away are West of the River Alver.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
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.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A fan that will not start
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Stubbington
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
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 make a difference.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What we are called out for in Stubbington
A fan in Stubbington 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.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Burning smells from the fan area
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Stubbington is Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 3.7 miles south-east.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
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 early action can save a repair.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Stubbington.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
