Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Water End
We’ve been trading since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers axial fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points, and people most often call us about a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and grease around the motor and its mounts.
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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Why it’s worth doing now in Water End
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. If the system at a site near Water End fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Water End. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Water End get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
Need a price for extract fan cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged fan blades
- A motor that has burnt out
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
When to call us in Water End
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Water End (The Vyne is about 4.1 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.

- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they carry

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. The timing of a visit to Water End is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
Questions from Water End
Who inspects food businesses in Water End?
The local authority for Water End is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can the work in Water End be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Do you work in Water End?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Water End.
