Extract Fan Cleaning in Upper Street
One call covers extract fan cleaning in Upper Street, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Upper Street.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Extract fan cleaning in Upper Street, done properly
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. 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. We are often asked to deal with a heavily greased fan housing and grease escaping from the fan outlet, on discharge points, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans.
In a small place like Upper Street, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Kitchen extracts in Upper Street
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Upper Street. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Upper Street sits within the area of 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. Food hygiene inspections in Upper Street are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Breamore Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Salisbury District Hospital about 5.5 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Street
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. With notice, the visit to Upper Street can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Report rattles or humming early
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Upper Street questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Upper Street?
The local authority for Upper Street is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Upper Street?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so you do not have to close during trading.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we’ll tell you and quote for the repair.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, where it makes sense. We’ll often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan normally means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
