Extract fan cleaning for sites in Eastleigh

What affects the quote in Eastleigh

You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:

  • What state the system is in
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • Parking and loading at the site

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What we need to know

We can often survey from photos. Try to include:

  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Eastleigh

If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. If you have fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and hot, greasy smells near the fan, we can put it right.

Around a town like Eastleigh, extract cleaning normally means a restaurant, pub, takeaway or the kitchen of a school or care home. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease, and each is cleaned to the same TR19® standard.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix

Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:

  • Grease in the canopy and ductwork
  • A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
  • An impeller that’s bent or split

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Discharge points
  • Axial fans
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Fan housings
  • Centrifugal fans
  • In-line fans

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Between visits

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Never cook with a filter missing
  • File the fan’s report with your other records
  • Report grease escaping from the fan
  • Run the extract throughout cooking

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.

Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

Eastleigh kitchens: local notes

The Food Standards Agency lists about 17 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Eastleigh. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Eastleigh council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Eastleigh. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Eastleigh 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.

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Moorgreen Hospital is the nearest hospital to Eastleigh, about 2.9 miles south. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Norwood Primary School or anywhere near Eastleigh, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you cook for passing trade around Eastleigh station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Part by part

Inline duct fans

Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.

Impellers and blades

The blades of the impeller do the work, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.

Common questions in Eastleigh

Which environmental health team covers Eastleigh?

Food hygiene inspections in Eastleigh are carried out by Eastleigh council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.

Do you work overnight in Eastleigh?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Eastleigh needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?

Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.

Does the law say we must follow TR19?

No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.

Are you insured?

Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.

Which accreditations do you hold?

Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.

What happens on the day

We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Before the visit, a few photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan the work in Eastleigh.

  1. We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
  2. We isolate the power before opening the housing.
  3. Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
  4. Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
  5. It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Let us know about parking and loading

Multi-site and managed buildings

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.

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
