Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Bramshott Chase
Can a school canteen extract in Bramshott Chase be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 6 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Bramshott Chase, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bramshott Chase?
In Bramshott Chase, it’s Waverley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
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 it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold 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.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bramshott Chase
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you have fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and hot, greasy smells near the fan, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why deal with it now?
Cleaning the fan in Bramshott Chase now is a short job: the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Why us?
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- A fixed price before any work starts
- We are fully insured
- Photo reports with every job
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
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. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. For a village or hamlet like Bramshott Chase, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Other services in Bramshott Chase
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Extract fan cleaning around Bramshott Chase
Food Standards Agency data counts about 13 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 10 takeaways in Bramshott Chase and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Bramshott Chase sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Bramshott Chase. 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Haslemere and District Hospital (about 2.1 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Luke or elsewhere in Bramshott Chase, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Woolmer Hill School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
