Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wellow
In Wellow, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers roof-mounted fans, axial fans and in-line fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and an extract fan with no cleaning record.
In a village or hamlet like Wellow, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, 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.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Wellow
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- The condition we find in the survey
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Wellow run smoothly.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Common problems we fix in Wellow
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan shaking on its mounts
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Wellow Baptist Church or elsewhere in Wellow, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Before booking anyone
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What insurance they carry
- Whether VAT is included
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

FAQs for Wellow
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Wellow?
The local authority for Wellow is Isle of Wight council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Does being near the coast affect extract fan cleaning in Wellow?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Wellow than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Part by part
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Wellow
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Wellow
Wellow lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Look up Wellow on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Wellow. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Fire safety in Wellow falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Shalfleet Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Wellow, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
