How we handle extract fan cleaning in Brighthampton
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers fan housings, centrifugal fans and in-line fans, and people most often call us about a fan coated in grease inside its housing and grease escaping from the fan outlet.
In a village or hamlet like Brighthampton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Run the extract throughout cooking
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.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Wiring faults to the fan
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself 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 Brighthampton before we set off.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- 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.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brighthampton
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. A planned visit to Brighthampton is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Brighthampton
Do you cover smaller places like Brighthampton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Brighthampton is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can school kitchens in Brighthampton be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Brighthampton, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
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 may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
