How we handle extract fan cleaning in Wolverton Common
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you have a heavily greased fan housing and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, we can help, from discharge points, roof-mounted fans and fan housings onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Wolverton Common, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

The process
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 work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Wolverton Common is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

When to call us in Wolverton Common
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Catherine, or anywhere in Wolverton Common, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Questions from Wolverton Common
Do you work in villages like Wolverton Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Wolverton Common?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Wolverton Common. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How long is a fan clean?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking is not affected.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. If the system at a site near Wolverton Common fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
