Extract Fan Cleaning in Upper Swanmore

- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Upper Swanmore
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. Typical jobs include a smell of hot grease from the extract and less air being pulled from the kitchen, on axial fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points.
Work in a small place like Upper Swanmore 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.
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.

Extract fan cleaning in Upper Swanmore: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs, bars and clubs in Upper Swanmore and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Upper Swanmore. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Upper Swanmore is 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Swanmore Church of England Aided Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Barnabas or elsewhere in Upper Swanmore, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning the fan in Upper Swanmore now is a short job: it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions from Upper Swanmore
Who is the fire and rescue service for Upper Swanmore?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Upper Swanmore. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Upper Swanmore?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Upper Swanmore. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and give you a fixed quote.
Do you cover Upper Swanmore?
Yes. We work in Upper Swanmore and across Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Upper Swanmore?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Upper Swanmore
A greasy fan in Upper Swanmore is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
A hospital like Knowle Hospital, about 5.1 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a written report and photos are included
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Upper Swanmore.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
