Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chalton
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan coated in grease inside its housing and weak extraction at the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Chalton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extracts in Chalton
Kitchens in Chalton get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Chalton sits within the area of 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Petersfield Community Hospital (about 4.7 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Uppark is about 3.2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael, or anywhere in Chalton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Chalton
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Chalton rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
Need a price for extract fan cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
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.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Common questions in Chalton
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Chalton?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Chalton. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which council inspects kitchens in Chalton?
The local authority for Chalton is East Hampshire 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.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll book around them.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Chalton, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
