Hampshire · Extract fan cleaning
Brighton Hill extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Brighton Hill. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Rough running from the extract fan
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Brighton Hill
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you’ll get a fixed price, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with weak extraction at the canopy and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, we can help.
For a smaller kitchen near Brighton Hill, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We plan the journey to Brighton Hill and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Common problems we fix in Brighton Hill
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (The Vyne is about 4 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the price is fixed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Managing agents and facilities teams in Brighton Hill
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
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.

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Brighton Hill
Do you work overnight in Brighton Hill?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Brighton Hill keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Brighton Hill?
The local authority for Brighton Hill is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
The fan follows the full system’s interval at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Brighton Hill kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 18 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in Brighton Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Brighton Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Brighton Hill. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Brighton Hill Community School or anywhere near Brighton Hill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Church Of Christ The King, or anywhere in Brighton Hill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Around Brighton Hill
Around Brighton Hill, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Eastrop Park, Chalk Ridge Primary School and Jolly Farmer Public House, among other places. Brighton Hill’s nearest station is Basingstoke station, about 1.6 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (2.1 miles north) and Festival Place (1.5 miles north-east). The countryside around Brighton Hill includes Daneshill Park Woods and Farleigh Hill.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
