Extract fan cleaning around Elvetham
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Elvetham. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Elvetham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hart council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Elvetham falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hospital like Fleet Community Hospital, about 1.2 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Elvetham Heath Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Extract fan cleaning in Elvetham
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you have grease around the motor and its mounts and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right, from roof-mounted fans, discharge points and in-line fans onwards.
In a small place like Elvetham, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Elvetham
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Elvetham out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 8 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Elvetham. You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Which fire service covers Elvetham?
Fire safety enforcement in Elvetham is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
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.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Elvetham
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Burning smells from the fan area
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Where a hall near Church of St Mary at Elvetham Hall, or anywhere in Elvetham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Elvetham
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Elvetham, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Never cook with a filter missing
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. We get to them through the duct or casing after isolating them.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
