How we handle extract fan cleaning in Dean
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. If you have a fan shaking on its mounts and grease stains around the discharge, we can put it right, from axial fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Dean, 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Kitchen extracts in Dean
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Dean. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Dean sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Dean. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For schools such as Bishops Waltham Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Report grease escaping from the fan
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Why act early in Dean
For a kitchen in Dean, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. A fault that closes a site in a village like Dean affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Dean questions
Will you come out to Dean?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Dean is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Dean?
Kitchens in Dean are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
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.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. In a small place like Dean, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- 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.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
When to call us in Dean
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Dean as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A motor area thick with grease
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Dean, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of accreditation you can verify

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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.
