Extract fan cleaning in Widley
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you have grease around the motor and its mounts and burning smells from the fan area, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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.

Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Extract fan cleaning in Widley: the local picture
Widley is within about 2 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The Food Standards Agency lists about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Widley. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Widley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Warblington Castle is about 3.7 miles east), access may need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Purbrook Park School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hospital like Queen Alexandra Hospital, about 1 mile south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Widley is about 1 mile south-west of Purbrook, in Hampshire. If you need extract fan cleaning in Widley, please phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for a fixed quote.

Landmarks near Widley

For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Widley questions
Is Widley within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Widley is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Widley?
The local authority for Widley is Havant 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.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll plan the visit around them.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
How much notice do you need?
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Widley.
- 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.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. A planned visit to Widley is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
