Extract fan cleaning in The Frenches, Hampshire
Extract fan cleaning across The Frenches and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and pictures.
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Extract fan cleaning in The Frenches, done properly
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. We’re often asked to deal with a fan that no longer moves enough air and an extract fan with no cleaning record, across centrifugal fans, discharge points and axial fans.
In a small place like The Frenches, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in The Frenches
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
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.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Visits to a village like The Frenches are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Why us?
- Photo reports with every job
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- We’re fully insured
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Common problems we fix in The Frenches
A greasy fan in The Frenches is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in The Frenches, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in The Frenches
Can a school canteen extract in The Frenches be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of The Frenches. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in The Frenches?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and The Frenches is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
The Frenches kitchens: local notes
It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in The Frenches. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in The Frenches falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Historic houses near The Frenches, such as Mottisfont Abbey about 3.1 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Romsey Community Hospital about 3.4 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
