How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in West Meon
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. If you have fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like West Meon, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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, 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.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in West Meon?
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in West Meon as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Where a hall near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in West Meon, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, with any limits noted.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Report rattles or humming early
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:

Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

West Meon kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of West Meon. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. In West Meon, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. West Meon sits within the area of 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.
Historic houses near West Meon, such as Hinton Ampner House about 3.4 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a village or hamlet like West Meon, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
