Hampshire · Extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning in Toothill, Hampshire
One call covers extract fan cleaning in Toothill, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Extract fan cleaning in Toothill
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers centrifugal fans, discharge points and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract fan with no cleaning record and hot, greasy smells near the fan.
Somewhere as small as Toothill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Toothill questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Toothill?
That’s Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Toothill. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you work in Toothill outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Toothill doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
A single accessible fan does not take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Kitchen extracts in Toothill
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Toothill. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Toothill. 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. Toothill is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Mountbatten School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Romsey Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Toothill, about 2.1 miles north.

The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Toothill before we set off.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
How we price extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damaged fan blades
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
What else we do in Toothill
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Toothill?
A greasy fan in Toothill is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Look out for any of the following:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (South Stoneham House is about 4.3 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
