Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Church End
A fan in Church End builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Weak extraction at the canopy
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Loddon School or anywhere near Church End, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Church End
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Church End during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Church End, the Food Standards Agency lists about 6 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Is Church End within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Church End is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning the fan in Church End now is a short job: the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. With notice, the visit to Church End can be fitted around your bookings and events.

Extract fan cleaning around Church End
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Church End. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Church End falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Church End. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital about 3.8 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St. Leonard, or anywhere in Church End, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. For a village or hamlet like Church End, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep records of every fan clean
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
