Extract Fan Cleaning in Upton Grey
We cover Upton Grey for cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Burning smells from the fan area
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep records of every fan clean
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Extract fan cleaning in Upton Grey, done properly
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Typical jobs include less air being pulled from the kitchen and grease escaping from the fan outlet, on centrifugal fans, axial fans and roof-mounted fans.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Upton Grey
Do you cover smaller places like Upton Grey?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Upton Grey?
In Upton Grey, it’s Basingstoke and Deane council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
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, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
How long is a fan clean?
It takes an hour or two for most single fans. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it cannot run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Upton Grey
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Kitchen extracts in Upton Grey

How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Upton Grey
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Upton Grey is Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 5.8 miles north-west.
