How we handle extract fan cleaning in Aldershot
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers in-line fans, axial fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and grease stains around the discharge.
In a town like Aldershot, most of the kitchen extracts we’re asked about belong to restaurants, cafés, pubs, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Each has a canopy, filters, ductwork and a fan to keep clear of grease, and each is cleaned to the same TR19® standard.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Aldershot
Can the work in Aldershot be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Aldershot?
Food hygiene inspections in Aldershot are carried out by Rushmoor council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you work in Aldershot?
Yes. Aldershot is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Aldershot
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Part by part
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. An inspector or insurer will want to see recent records, so it makes sense to have them ready.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Every visit written up, with photos
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- We diagnose before we treat
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
What staff can safely do
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, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A motor that has burnt out
- An impeller that is bent or split
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Aldershot
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 27 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Aldershot. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Aldershot sits within the area of 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. Food hygiene inspections in Aldershot are the job of Rushmoor council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hospital like Fleet Community Hospital, about 4.7 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Talavera Junior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Aldershot, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: 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 most single fans, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Work in Aldershot is typically booked after closing, early in the morning or on a closed day.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
