Common questions in Borden
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Borden?
Borden 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.
Can you work in Borden outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
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 expects a risk-based approach.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
About our extract fan cleaning in Borden
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. If you have weak extraction at the canopy and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Borden, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Borden
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Borden
Borden is covered by 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. At about 46 miles from central London, Borden sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Borden, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital about 4.1 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Historic houses near Borden, such as Cowdray House about 4.4 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Borden is about 5 miles east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Borden gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. Borden is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for extract fan cleaning. For sites nearby, see our Portsmouth page, about 18 miles away.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Somewhere like Borden, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Why act early in Borden
A fan that sounds rough in Borden is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. If the system at a site near Borden fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
