How we handle extract fan cleaning in Cadnam
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. The work covers centrifugal fans, axial fans and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are a smell of hot grease from the extract and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
For a kitchen in or near Cadnam, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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. That is our job.
Cadnam: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Cadnam be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Cadnam. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Is Cadnam within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
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 can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep access to the fan clear
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Extract fan cleaning in Cadnam: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Cadnam. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Cadnam falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Cadnam. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Cadnam, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Landford Manor is about 4.6 miles north-west), access may need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bartley Church of England Junior School or anywhere near Cadnam, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Cadnam
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Cadnam, let us know and we will plan around it.
- 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.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
