Questions from Chute Forest
Can the work in Chute Forest be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Chute Forest does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you get to a site in Chute Forest?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Chute Forest included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chute Forest
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan shaking on its mounts and grease around the motor and its mounts.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Leave it or put it right?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. A fault that closes a site in a village like Chute Forest affects everyone who depends on it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Chute Forest and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Part by part
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Chute Forest and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Chute Forest

How we price extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
What we are called out for in Chute Forest
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital about 4.3 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
