Why deal with it now?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. If the system at a site near Wadwick fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Wadwick
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Typical jobs include a noisy fan that has got louder over time and burning smells from the fan area, on centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points.
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. We agree access and timings in advance.
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.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Wadwick
Kitchens in Wadwick get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. 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. Wadwick is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Common questions in Wadwick
Do you work at weekends in Wadwick?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Wadwick doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Wadwick?
Yes. Wadwick is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Wadwick?
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Wadwick (Highclere Castle is about 3.8 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.

How the visit works
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 floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it 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 Wadwick.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
