What extract fan cleaning looks like in Wickham
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wickham. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Wickham is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wickham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Knowle Hospital is the nearest hospital to Wickham, about 1.5 miles south-west. For schools such as Wickham Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wickham
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that is what we clean. If you have a smell of hot grease from the extract and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, we can help, from fan housings, in-line fans and discharge points onwards.
In a smaller place like Wickham, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We’ve 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 are fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.

What happens if it’s left?
A fan that sounds rough in Wickham is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it usually is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. A quieter site near Wickham still needs its system looked after.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We plan the journey to Wickham and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Wickham
Can you come to Wickham after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Wickham keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Wickham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Wickham is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Common problems we fix in Wickham
How fast a fan gets greasy in Wickham depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A motor area thick with grease
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Wickham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Wickham and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.
