If you are dealing with a fan that has never been cleaned and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, we can help, from axial fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans onwards.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What else we do in Wootton
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Questions from Wootton
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Wootton?
That’s New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wootton. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Will you come out to Wootton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Wootton knowing what to expect.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Extract fan cleaning in Wootton: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Wootton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. In Wootton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Wootton is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Avon Tyrrell House, about 3.2 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Wootton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Lymington New Forest Hospital is the nearest hospital to Wootton, about 5.5 miles east.

What we’re called out for in Wootton
How fast a fan gets greasy in Wootton 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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Church and community hall kitchens, near St John or anywhere around Wootton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Wootton is calmer for everyone.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
