Hampshire · Extract fan cleaning
Cufaude extract fan cleaning
Professional extract fan cleaning in and around Cufaude, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with photos.
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on in Cufaude

Extract fan cleaning in Cufaude, done properly
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. We’re often asked to deal with burning smells from the fan area and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, across axial fans, centrifugal fans and in-line fans.
For a kitchen in or near Cufaude, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

When to call us in Cufaude
A fan in Cufaude builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Cufaude (The Vyne is about 0.9 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

Common questions in Cufaude
Can you get to a site in Cufaude?
Yes. Cufaude is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Cufaude?
Fire safety enforcement in Cufaude is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Cufaude before we set off.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Cufaude, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it typically is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Extract fan cleaning in Cufaude: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Cufaude and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Cufaude is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Cufaude, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Vyne Chapel, or anywhere in Cufaude, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 2.9 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
