Binley extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning for Binley, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan left out of previous cleans
Extract fan cleaning in Binley, done properly
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you have a fan shaking on its mounts and grease stains around the discharge, we can help, from axial fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings onwards.
Somewhere as small as Binley, 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.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.

What affects the quote in Binley
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line 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 typically come back within one working day.
Extract fan cleaning in Binley: the local picture
Binley sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Binley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Andover War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Binley, about 5.9 miles south-west. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Highclere Castle is about 3.8 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Binley is about 6 miles north-east of Andover, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in Binley, we can take on extract fan cleaning. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so trading isn’t interrupted. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. For sites nearby, see our Reading page, about 22 miles away.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Binley
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. In a small place like Binley, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- 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.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep records of every fan clean
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Questions from Binley
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Binley?
The local authority for Binley 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.
Do you work at weekends in Binley?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Binley can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Every clean has a photo report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
What should I send you?
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 protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
