Extract fan cleaning for Compton, with a survey first and a report with pictures at the end. Call for a fixed quote.
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.

Compton: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Compton?
The local authority for Compton is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Will you come out to Compton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Compton is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Why act early in Compton
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. A fault that closes a site in a village like Compton affects everyone who depends on it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

When to call us in Compton
How fast a fan gets greasy in Compton depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that has never been cleaned
For kitchens close to Shawford station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered

Extract fan cleaning in Compton: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Compton. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Compton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Compton is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Compton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like Compton All Saints Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Around Compton
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Bridge Inn, Thornden School and St. Cross Park. The closest station to Compton is Shawford station, about 0.5 miles east of the centre.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for most single fans. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Compton, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- 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
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
