Cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points in Bishop's Waltham, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and pictures. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and we clear up before we go. Around Bishop's Waltham, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps 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. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bishop's Waltham
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers axial fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a motor area thick with grease.
In a smaller place like Bishop's Waltham, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Kitchen extracts in Bishop's Waltham
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bishop's Waltham. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Kitchens in Bishop's Waltham get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Bishop's Waltham sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Moorgreen Hospital (about 5.1 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Bishop's Waltham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Bishop's Waltham Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Bishop's Waltham: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Bishop's Waltham be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Bishop's Waltham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Which environmental health team covers Bishop's Waltham?
Food hygiene inspections in Bishop's Waltham are carried out by Winchester City council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A clean won’t mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Every clean has a photo report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site

What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that sounds rough in Bishop's Waltham is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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. That’s our job.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Other services in Bishop's Waltham
Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Damaged fan blades
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
