Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Durrants
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. Common call-outs are for a fan coated in grease inside its housing and grease around the motor and its mounts, on centrifugal fans, in-line fans and fan housings.
In a village or hamlet like Durrants, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Durrants: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Durrants be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Durrants, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire service covers Durrants?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Durrants. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
The fan follows the full system’s interval, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. For a village or hamlet like Durrants, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.

Extract fan cleaning in Durrants: the local picture
The coast is only about 3 miles from Durrants. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 14 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 20 takeaways and sandwich shops in Durrants and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Kitchens in Durrants get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Durrants, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital about 2 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as Havant Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What else we do in Durrants
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A fan that will not start
- An impeller that’s bent or split
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
