Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Welborne
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you’re dealing with thick grease on the impeller and casing and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right, from in-line fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points onwards.
In a small place like Welborne, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Welborne
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Welborne
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Kitchen extracts in Welborne
The coast is only about 3 miles from Welborne. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records list about 13 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Welborne and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Kitchens in Welborne get their food hygiene inspections from Fareham council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Francis or elsewhere in Welborne, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Henry Cort Community College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What else we do in Welborne
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Welborne.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Welborne
A greasy fan in Welborne is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
A hospital like Knowle Hospital, about 0.5 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether a survey comes first
- What paperwork you get at the end
Welborne: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Welborne?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which environmental health team covers Welborne?
Food hygiene inspections in Welborne are carried out by Fareham council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
