Specialist extract fan cleaning for Whitsbury: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with pictures. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A motor area thick with grease
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Whitsbury
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. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. If you’re dealing with a fan shaking on its mounts and hot, greasy smells near the fan, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Whitsbury, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Whitsbury kitchens: local notes
Whitsbury is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Whitsbury. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Breamore House, about 1.6 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Whitsbury; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Leonard, or anywhere in Whitsbury, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Whitsbury?
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
What we are most often called out for:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Whitsbury is Salisbury District Hospital, about 5.2 miles north.

Questions from Whitsbury
Can you get to a site in Whitsbury?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Whitsbury included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire service covers Whitsbury?
Whitsbury is in the area of 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.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Whitsbury.
- 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.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
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 we start.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
What affects the quote in Whitsbury
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
For extract fan cleaning in Whitsbury, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Why deal with it now?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Whitsbury rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
