About our extract fan cleaning in Walhampton
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, 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. If you have fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a motor area thick with grease, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Walhampton, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. It’s simpler to plan the work at Walhampton now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

- Trading since 2009
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
What we are called out for in Walhampton
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Walhampton as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near United Reform Church, or anywhere in Walhampton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- When the next visit should be, and why
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Walhampton
Does the sea air around Walhampton make a difference to extract fan cleaning?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Walhampton than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Will you come out to Walhampton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Walhampton included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How long is a fan clean?
A single accessible fan does not take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t start while we work. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
What affects the quote in Walhampton
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Extract fan cleaning around Walhampton
At about 1 mile from the coast, Walhampton is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 43 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 16 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Walhampton. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Walhampton. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
School kitchens, at schools like Lymington Church of England Infant School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a café or takeaway near Lymington Town station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
