About our extract fan cleaning in Andwell
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you have a fan left out of previous cleans and a fan shaking on its mounts, we can help.
In a small place like Andwell, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.

Questions from Andwell
Which fire authority looks after Andwell?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Andwell. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Andwell?
Kitchens in Andwell are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
How long is a fan clean?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
Is Andwell in your area?
Yes. Andwell is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so you always know what was cleaned.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What affects the quote in Andwell
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Andwell
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Andwell and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Andwell sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Andwell. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Swithun's church or anywhere around Andwell, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (The Vyne is about 4.2 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What else we do in Andwell
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Andwell
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 on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Why it’s worth doing now in Andwell
For a kitchen in Andwell, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. It’s simpler to plan the work at Andwell now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Andwell?
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Burning smells from the fan area
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital about 4.2 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Andwell.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- 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 photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
