About our extract fan cleaning in Beech
If the extract fan in Beech has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you’ll get a fixed price, usually within one working day. The work covers discharge points, fan housings and axial fans, and people most often call us about grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan that no longer moves enough air.
For a kitchen in or near Beech, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we’re called out for in Beech
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, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Burning smells from the fan area
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Peter's or elsewhere in Beech, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
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.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Beech run smoothly.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area

Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
FAQs for Beech
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Beech?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Beech. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you come to Beech after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Beech keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you cover Beech?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Beech included.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Beech kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars across Beech and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Beech sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Beech get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Amery Hill School or anywhere near Beech, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. 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 Beech, about 1.2 miles east.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Beech
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
