Questions from Avon Castle
Do you work at weekends in Avon Castle?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Avon Castle does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Avon Castle?
Kitchens in Avon Castle are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is Avon Castle in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Avon Castle included.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Avon Castle
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. 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 fan shaking on its mounts and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, across in-line fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
For a kitchen in or near Avon Castle, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extracts in Avon Castle
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 23 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways in and around Avon Castle, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Avon Castle is covered by 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 Avon Castle are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. 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.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Avon Tyrrell House is about 3.5 miles south-east), access may need planning. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Ives Primary & Nursery School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What else we do in Avon Castle
What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
What we are called out for in Avon Castle
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Avon Castle as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
A hospital like St Leonard's Hospital, about 2.3 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Comparing quotes
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What records you will receive afterwards
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep access to the fan clear
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A fan that will not start

What affects the quote in Avon Castle
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What staff can safely do
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Avon Castle run smoothly.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
