Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ashton
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you have an extract fan with no cleaning record and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can put it right.
In a small place like Ashton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Extract fan cleaning around Ashton
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Ashton. 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 Ashton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Ashton falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Moorgreen Hospital (about 5.3 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bishops Waltham Infant School or anywhere near Ashton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Ashton
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Ashton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Questions from Ashton
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Ashton?
Food hygiene inspections in Ashton are carried out by Winchester City council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work in villages like Ashton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ashton included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Ashton run smoothly.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
