Extract fan cleaning in Ventnor
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Typical jobs include a heavily greased fan housing and a fan left out of previous cleans, across in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
In a smaller place like Ventnor, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

FAQs for Ventnor
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Ventnor?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Ventnor. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can a school canteen extract in Ventnor be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Ventnor, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Ventnor?
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Ventnor is Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, about 3 miles north-east.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Extract fan cleaning around Ventnor
Ventnor lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Look up Ventnor on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 27 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Ventnor. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Food hygiene inspections in Ventnor are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Rylstone Manor is about 2.6 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Catherine's School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How we price extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
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 will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
