Extract fan cleaning in Bartley, Hampshire

- A heavily greased fan housing

- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Bartley
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you’re dealing with grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Bartley, 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, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Keep access to the fan clear
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere as small as Bartley, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Why act early in Bartley
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. If the system at a site near Bartley fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Why book with us
- Each visit written up, with photos
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- We’re fully insured

When to call us in Bartley
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Bartley as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tatchbury Mount Hospital about 1.8 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What insurance they carry
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Where we work

Grease, kitchens and Bartley
Food Standards Agency records include about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Bartley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bartley. 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. Fire safety in Bartley 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bartley Church of England Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Bartley questions
Which fire service covers Bartley?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which environmental health team covers Bartley?
Food hygiene inspections in Bartley are carried out by New Forest council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
