Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broadgate
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that’s what we clean. If you are dealing with a noisy fan that has got louder over time and grease stains around the discharge, we can help, from discharge points, fan housings and centrifugal fans onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Broadgate, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Broadgate kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Broadgate. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Broadgate is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Broadgate, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mark or elsewhere in Broadgate, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like Romsey Community Hospital, about 3.2 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For schools such as Ampfield Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. The timing of a visit to Broadgate is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Related advice
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Run the extract throughout cooking
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.

Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Broadgate
Do you work at weekends in Broadgate?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Broadgate doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who inspects food businesses in Broadgate?
The local authority for Broadgate is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes. 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.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A clean will not mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Broadgate
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Broadgate, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
