What extract fan cleaning looks like in Cliddesden
There are about 14 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Cliddesden, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Cliddesden sits within the area of 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 Cliddesden. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (The Vyne is about 4.8 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Cliddesden Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not 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.
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.
When to call us in Cliddesden
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
A hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 3 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

Which environmental health team covers Cliddesden?
Food hygiene inspections in Cliddesden are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.

Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so you always know what was cleaned.

A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.

Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
