Abbotts Barton kitchens: local notes

Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Abbotts Barton. 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. The fire and rescue service for Abbotts Barton is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

Extract fan cleaning in Abbotts Barton, done properly
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that is what we clean. Common call-outs are for vibration from an unbalanced impeller and rough running from the extract fan, across roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
For a smaller kitchen near Abbotts Barton, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Common problems we fix in Abbotts Barton
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Abbotts Barton as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
If you run a café or takeaway near Winchester station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Before booking anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Tell us when your site near Abbotts Barton is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email 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. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Advice
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A fan that will not start
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- In-line fans

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

Abbotts Barton: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Abbotts Barton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Abbotts Barton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Abbotts Barton keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
It takes an hour or two for most single fans. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. 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.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.

What else we do in Abbotts Barton
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
