Extract Fan Cleaning in Waterlooville
Extract fan cleaning for Waterlooville, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

Extract fan cleaning in Waterlooville, done properly
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that’s what we clean. If you’re dealing with weak extraction at the canopy and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, we can help.
Most kitchens in a town like Waterlooville can’t close for a day, so cleans are booked after closing, early in the morning or on a quiet day. The kitchen is handed back clean and ready to cook.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why act early in Waterlooville
For a kitchen in Waterlooville, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. Grease, dust and wear all build up with time.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Waterlooville?
Grease condenses as the air cools, 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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hart Plain Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they recommend a next date
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Work in Waterlooville is normally booked after closing, early in the morning or on a closed day.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

FAQs for Waterlooville
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Waterlooville?
Waterlooville is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Is extract fan cleaning any different in a coastal place like Waterlooville?
It can. Being within about 3 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Waterlooville than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you work in Waterlooville?
Yes. We cover Waterlooville and across Hampshire, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Waterlooville
Waterlooville lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Waterlooville on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 39 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 30 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Waterlooville. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. It’s Havant council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Waterlooville. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hospital like Queen Alexandra Hospital, about 2.7 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint George's, or anywhere in Waterlooville, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
