Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Baughurst
Any fan serving a kitchen in Baughurst is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers in-line fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about a fan shaking on its mounts and an extract fan with no cleaning record.
Somewhere as small as Baughurst, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens if it’s left?
A fan clean in Baughurst doesn’t take long: it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Report rattles or humming early
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.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Baughurst?
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Look out for any of the following:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease stains around the discharge
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Baughurst (The Vyne is about 4.6 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Common questions in Baughurst
Can the work in Baughurst be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Baughurst keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Baughurst?
The local authority for Baughurst is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Baughurst and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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 any work starts.

What affects the quote in Baughurst
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Baughurst kitchens: local notes
Look up Baughurst on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 takeaways in Baughurst and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Food hygiene inspections in Baughurst are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Baughurst. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
School kitchens, at schools like The Hurst School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Where a hall near Saint Mary's Church, or anywhere in Baughurst, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
