In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Cole Henley
We have been trading since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. Typical jobs include grease stains around the discharge and less air being pulled from the kitchen, across discharge points, fan housings and centrifugal fans.
In a village or hamlet like Cole Henley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
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.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere as small as Cole Henley, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Cole Henley questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Cole Henley?
Food hygiene inspections in Cole Henley are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you get to a site in Cole Henley?
Yes. Cole Henley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks, under BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, because it unbalances the fan. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Common problems we fix in Cole Henley
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan left out of previous cleans
For kitchens in and around Cole Henley, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.
What to look for in a quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a survey comes first
- Proof of insurance
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
