Do you need extract fan cleaning in Chineham?
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan shaking on its mounts
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church Chineham, or anywhere in Chineham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Extract fan cleaning in Chineham, done properly
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that is what we clean. The work covers fan housings, roof-mounted fans and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and burning smells from the fan area.
Kitchens around a place like Chineham are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
How we price extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
FAQs for Chineham
Do you work overnight in Chineham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Chineham does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in Chineham?
That is Basingstoke and Deane council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Chineham. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Is Chineham in your area?
Yes. We work in Chineham and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- Damaged fan blades
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Grease, kitchens and Chineham
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Chineham. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Chineham falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Chineham are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. 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.
For schools such as Four Lanes Community Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (The Vyne is about 2 miles north-west), access may need planning.
