Bentworth extract fan cleaning
We cover Bentworth for extract fan cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Burning smells from the fan area
What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bentworth
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers discharge points, axial fans and in-line fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan shaking on its mounts and burning smells from the fan area.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Bentworth
Food hygiene inspections in Bentworth are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Bentworth. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bentworth (Hall Place is about 0.2 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Alton Community Hospital about 2.8 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Bentworth is about 3 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. Across the GU34 area, we can carry out extract fan cleaning at your premises. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, Bentworth among them. For sites nearby, see our Reading page (20 miles or so).

Around Bentworth
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Star Inn and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Alton station, roughly 3.5 miles east. Nearby you’ll also find Barton Castle (3.2 miles south-west) and Gliding Heritage Centre (2.2 miles north-east). Not far away are King's Hill.
How the visit works
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 one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Bentworth, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Questions from Bentworth
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bentworth?
Bentworth 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 Bentworth?
Food hygiene inspections in Bentworth are carried out by East Hampshire council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Before and after photos go into a report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A fan that won’t start
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
Common problems we fix in Bentworth
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Burning smells from the fan area
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere in Bentworth, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the price is fixed
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Bentworth
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Why act early in Bentworth
For a kitchen in Bentworth, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. It’s simpler to plan the work at Bentworth now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
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 make a difference.
