Extract fan cleaning in Abbotswood
In Abbotswood, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers axial fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and burning smells from the fan area.
Work in a small place like Abbotswood starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Abbotswood
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Abbotswood kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 41 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 15 takeaways and sandwich shops in Abbotswood 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. The fire and rescue service for Abbotswood is 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. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Abbotswood. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Abbotswood (Mottisfont Abbey is about 3.2 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near St Swithun's Church, or anywhere in Abbotswood, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Cupernham Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Abbotswood.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area

Related advice
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Report rattles or humming early
- Make sure the fan is included each time
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.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Why it’s worth doing now in Abbotswood
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. A planned visit to Abbotswood is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The times the site is available
