Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Curdridge
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Curdridge is Knowle Hospital, about 3.3 miles south-east.

Extract fan cleaning in Curdridge
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. Typical jobs include a motor area thick with grease and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, across in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings.
In a small place like Curdridge, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Make sure the fan is included each time
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Part by part
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Curdridge
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars in and around Curdridge, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Curdridge are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Curdridge is covered by 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.
For schools such as Curdridge Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Curdridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

FAQs for Curdridge
Which fire authority looks after Curdridge?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Curdridge. 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.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Curdridge?
That is Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Curdridge. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
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.
Is Curdridge in your area?
Yes. We work in Curdridge and across Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Curdridge.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
