Church Crookham questions
Can you work in Church Crookham outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Church Crookham?
Yes, Church Crookham is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Extract fan cleaning in Church Crookham, done properly
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that’s what we clean. Common call-outs are for hot, greasy smells near the fan and a fan left out of previous cleans, on axial fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points.
In a village or hamlet like Church Crookham, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
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.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Church Crookham.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Church Crookham?
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease stains around the discharge
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Velmead Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep access to the fan clear
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.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Church Crookham kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 12 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Church Crookham. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Church Crookham is covered by 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 Hart council inspect food businesses in Church Crookham. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Fleet Spiritualist Church, or anywhere in Church Crookham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

When something else is needed
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:

- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
