About our extract fan cleaning in Brook
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. The work covers axial fans, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans, and people most often call us about fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a noisy fan that has got louder over time.
In a small place like Brook, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Extract fan cleaning around Brook
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs and bars across Brook and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Brook. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Brook are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

What we are called out for in Brook
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Landford Manor, about 4.1 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Brook; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Leave a clear route to the fan
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.

Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Brook and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Brook
Do you work overnight in Brook?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Brook doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can you get to a site in Brook?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
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 can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
