Managing agents and facilities teams in Abshot
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Extract fan cleaning in Abshot, done properly
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. Common call-outs are for a smell of hot grease from the extract and grease around the motor and its mounts, on roof-mounted fans, discharge points and axial fans.
In a village or hamlet like Abshot, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

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, once they’re isolated.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Abshot.
- 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.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

When to call us in Abshot
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Abshot as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Look out for any of the following:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A motor area thick with grease
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John or elsewhere in Abshot, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Extract fan cleaning around Abshot
Abshot is within about 1 mile of the coast. 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 shows about 25 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Abshot. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. In Abshot, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Fareham council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Locks Heath Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hospital like Fareham Community Hospital, about 1.7 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Abshot is about 3 miles west of Fareham, in Hampshire. For extract fan cleaning in and around Abshot, it’s easy to get a fixed quote: please ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Why act early in Abshot
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. In a small place like Abshot, a system that fails can take a site out of use.

Common questions in Abshot
Which fire service covers Abshot?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Abshot?
The local authority for Abshot is Fareham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so you do not have to close during trading.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
