Extract fan cleaning in Crookham Village
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that’s what we clean. If you have burning smells from the fan area and grease stains around the discharge, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Crookham Village, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What happens if it’s left?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. In a small place like Crookham Village, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Common questions in Crookham Village
Which fire authority looks after Crookham Village?
Crookham Village is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Crookham Village?
That’s Hart council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Crookham Village. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

What affects the quote in Crookham Village
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
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.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Extract fan cleaning in Crookham Village: the local picture
There are about 41 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 16 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Crookham Village, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Crookham Village are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Crookham Village. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
School kitchens, at schools like All Saints Church of England Aided Junior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints' Church, or anywhere in Crookham Village, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Farnham Castle is about 4.5 miles south-east), access may need planning.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere as small as Crookham Village, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Part by part
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Leave a clear route to the fan
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
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.
