Common questions in Bowling Alley
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Bowling Alley out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bowling Alley. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Is Bowling Alley within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bowling Alley is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it cannot start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Extract fan cleaning in Bowling Alley
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. Common call-outs are for grease escaping from the fan outlet and thick grease on the impeller and casing, across roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings.
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. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Extract fan cleaning around Bowling Alley
At about 38 miles from central London, Bowling Alley sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Food hygiene inspections in Bowling Alley are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bowling Alley (Farnham Castle is about 3.1 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Bowling Alley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Bowling Alley is about 2 miles south-west of Fleet, in Surrey. Across the GU10 area, we can take on extract fan cleaning. Across Surrey, we cover 395 places, and Bowling Alley is one of them. There’s also a page for Guildford, about 13 miles away.
Work in GU10 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. If your site is just outside Bowling Alley, we cover Mill Lane (1 mile north-west), Crondall (1 mile south), Redlands (1 mile south-east), Warren Corner (1 mile east) and Ewshot (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Guildford (13 miles east), Woking (14 miles east), Camberley (9 miles north-east), Farnham (4 miles south-east), Frimley (8 miles north-east) and Haslemere (12 miles south-east).
Landmarks near Bowling Alley
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Basingbourne Park, Crondall Primary School and Court Moor School. For rail, the closest station is Winchfield station, about 3.4 miles north-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Powderham Castle (1.9 miles south) and Museum of Farnham (3.3 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Aunt's Pool and Beacon Hill.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. It’s simpler to plan the work at Bowling Alley now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go. For a village or hamlet like Bowling Alley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Related advice
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

When to call us in Bowling Alley
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Bowling Alley as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
A hospital like Fleet Community Hospital, about 3.2 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
