Extract Fan Cleaning in Wittensford
Need extract fan cleaning in Wittensford? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Wittensford.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Extract fan cleaning in Wittensford, done properly
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you have hot, greasy smells near the fan and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, we can help, from fan housings, roof-mounted fans and discharge points onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Other services in Wittensford
Part by part
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A fan that will not start
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings

Wittensford questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Wittensford?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Wittensford. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work overnight in Wittensford?

Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.

Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.

How we price extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Wittensford?
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Burning smells from the fan area
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Landford Manor is about 4.2 miles north), access may need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether a survey comes first
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
