Managing agents and facilities teams in Wootton
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Wootton and across the Isle of Wight. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wootton
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. Typical jobs include fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, across discharge points, axial fans and centrifugal fans.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Wootton gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Wootton: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Wootton?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work at weekends in Wootton?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. 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.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Common problems we fix in Wootton
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wootton Community Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What insurance they carry
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. When a site near Wootton shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Kitchen extracts in Wootton
The coast is only about 2 miles from Wootton. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Wootton, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Wootton. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mary's Hospital about 3.1 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Osborne House, about 2.2 miles north-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.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go. Around Wootton, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
