Extract fan cleaning in Crow, done properly
We’ve 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. The work covers axial fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are a smell of hot grease from the extract and grease stains around the discharge.
Work in a small place like Crow starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
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.
When to call us in Crow
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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A heavily greased fan housing
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Leonard's Hospital about 4.3 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Crow
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Putting the work off seldom saves money. 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 send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Crow
Food Standards Agency records list about 16 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways in and around Crow, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Fire safety in Crow falls to 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. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Crow. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ringwood Junior School or anywhere near Crow, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Crow (Avon Tyrrell House is about 2.4 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Crow is in Hampshire. Crow gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. You can also see our page for Southampton, roughly 17 miles from Crow.

Why deal with it now?
A fan that sounds rough in Crow is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. If the system at a site near Crow fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Crow, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Crow
Can you get to a site in Crow?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Crow included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Crow in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Crow. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking is not affected.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. 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.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
