Extract fan cleaning in Weavers Down, done properly
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. Typical jobs include vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, across fan housings, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans.
In a village or hamlet like Weavers Down, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Why it’s worth doing now in Weavers Down
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What else we do in Weavers Down
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Weavers Down
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep records of every fan clean
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Weavers Down.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
When to call us in Weavers Down
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A heavily greased fan housing
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Liphook Church of England Controlled Junior School or anywhere near Weavers Down, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What to look for in a quote

Weavers Down questions

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.

Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What do you need from me for a quote?

We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
