Grease, kitchens and Bagmore
At about 46 miles from central London, Bagmore sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Bagmore. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St. Mary or anywhere around Bagmore, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Hall Place, about 3 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Bagmore; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Bagmore is about 5 miles north-west of Alton, in Hampshire. Across the RG25 area, we can carry out extract fan cleaning at your premises. Bagmore is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for extract fan cleaning. You can also see our page for Reading, roughly 18 miles from Bagmore.

Extract fan cleaning in Bagmore, done properly
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and centrifugal fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a smell of hot grease from the extract and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease.
Somewhere as small as Bagmore, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Bagmore questions
Which fire authority looks after Bagmore?
Bagmore is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which council inspects kitchens in Bagmore?
The local authority for Bagmore is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
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.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Bagmore?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for most single fans, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Bagmore before we set off.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; 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 work begins.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bagmore
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Planning a trip to Bagmore ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Bagmore?

What we are most often called out for:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Alton Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bagmore, about 4.9 miles south-east.
