Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Woodside
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: 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. We’re often asked to deal with a fan that no longer moves enough air and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, on roof-mounted fans, axial fans and in-line fans.
Somewhere as small as Woodside, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Check filters are seated before cooking
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Woodside.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Extract fan cleaning in Woodside: the local picture
Kitchens in Woodside get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Woodside falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Vernham Dean Gillum's Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Woodside, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. It’s simpler to plan the work at Woodside now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Woodside questions
Do you cover smaller places like Woodside?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Woodside is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Woodside be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Woodside?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean will not mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A motor that has burnt out
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
