Why it’s worth doing now in Abbots Worthy
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Abbots Worthy rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Abbots Worthy
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. Common call-outs are for a fan left out of previous cleans and rough running from the extract fan, on discharge points, roof-mounted fans and fan housings.
For a kitchen in or near Abbots Worthy, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Abbots Worthy
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 2.3 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Abbots Worthy: your questions answered
Can you come to Abbots Worthy after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Abbots Worthy doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Abbots Worthy during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Abbots Worthy. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Kitchen extracts in Abbots Worthy
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars in Abbots Worthy and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Abbots Worthy sits within the area of 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. Kitchens in Abbots Worthy get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Kings Worthy Primary School or anywhere near Abbots Worthy, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Abbots Worthy, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for most single fans. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Abbots Worthy, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
