Extract fan cleaning in Conford
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you are dealing with grease stains around the discharge and an extract fan with no cleaning record, we can put it right, from in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Conford, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Why it’s worth doing now in Conford
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. If the system at a site near Conford fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- Photo reports with every job
- Fully insured
- Every job surveyed first

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Conford
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Conford?
Conford is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you work in Conford outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Conford can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Is Conford in your area?
Yes. Conford is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Grease, kitchens and Conford
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs, bars and clubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Conford. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Conford. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Conford. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
School kitchens, at schools like Liphook Infant School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Conford.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Other services in Conford
When to call us in Conford
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Look out for any of the following:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chase Community Hospital about 1.9 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Check filters are seated before cooking
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
