Extract fan cleaning in Blackmoor, done properly
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Typical jobs include a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, across discharge points, axial fans and in-line fans.
In a small place like Blackmoor, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. If it can’t be reached fully, the report says so.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for most single fans. In a small place like Blackmoor, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- 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 pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Blackmoor kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs, bars and clubs registered in and around Blackmoor, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Blackmoor is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Blackmoor. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Matthew's Church, or anywhere in Blackmoor, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Common problems we fix in Blackmoor
A greasy fan in Blackmoor is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A motor area thick with grease
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
A hospital like Chase Community Hospital, about 1.4 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Blackmoor questions
Is Blackmoor within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Blackmoor included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Blackmoor?
Food hygiene inspections in Blackmoor are carried out by East Hampshire council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot 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 call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep records of every fan clean
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Leave it or put it right?
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Planning a trip to Blackmoor ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
