Extract fan cleaning in Braishfield
Any fan serving a kitchen in Braishfield is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. Typical jobs include grease stains around the discharge and a fan that no longer moves enough air, across centrifugal fans, discharge points and fan housings.
In a small place like Braishfield, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Damaged fan blades
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof-mounted fans

How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
How we price extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

FAQs for Braishfield
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Braishfield?
Food hygiene inspections in Braishfield are carried out by Test Valley council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work at weekends in Braishfield?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Braishfield does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks in BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Braishfield before we set off.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- 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.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Common problems we fix in Braishfield
A greasy fan in Braishfield 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 does not help.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Mottisfont Abbey, about 3.3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Braishfield; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
What happens if it’s left?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. With notice, the visit to Braishfield can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Braishfield
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Braishfield and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Fire safety in Braishfield falls to 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. Kitchens in Braishfield get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Romsey Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Braishfield, about 2.2 miles south. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Braishfield Primary School or anywhere near Braishfield, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
