Extract fan cleaning in Bradley, done properly
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. Common call-outs are for less air being pulled from the kitchen and a fan left out of previous cleans, across roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and fan housings.
In a small place like Bradley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bradley
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Grease, kitchens and Bradley
Bradley 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. We cover Bradley, about 49 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Alton Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bradley, about 4.8 miles south-east. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hall Place is about 1.9 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Bradley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Bradley is about 5 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO24, we can take on extract fan cleaning. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, large and small. You can also see our page for Reading, about 20 miles away.
Our technicians cover all of SO24 for extract fan cleaning and the roads nearby.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Bradley
Which fire authority looks after Bradley?
Bradley is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you come to Bradley after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we’ll explain it and send you a fixed quote.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Bradley.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A fan that will not start
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Check filters are seated before cooking
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What else we do in Bradley
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
