How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Whiteley when you book.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- 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

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Whiteley
The extract fan is the heart of the system: 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 we clean it off. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and in-line fans, and people most often call us about a noisy fan that has got louder over time and vibration from an unbalanced impeller.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Whiteley gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we’re called out for in Whiteley
A fan in Whiteley builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Whiteley is Fareham Community Hospital, about 1.4 miles south-west.

More services for Whiteley
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Around Whiteley, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- In business since 2009
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Each visit written up, with photos

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A fan that won’t start
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Whiteley questions
Which fire service covers Whiteley?
Fire safety enforcement in Whiteley is handled by 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 Whiteley?
The local authority for Whiteley is Fareham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you cover Whiteley?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Whiteley included.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Whiteley kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 9 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Whiteley. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Whiteley are the job of Fareham council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Whiteley 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.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Part by part
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
