In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Common call-outs are for a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and less air being pulled from the kitchen, across axial fans, discharge points and fan housings.
In a village or hamlet like Enham Alamein, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Enham Alamein: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Enham Alamein?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Enham Alamein?
Kitchens in Enham Alamein are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Why act early in Enham Alamein
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Somewhere as small as Enham Alamein, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
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 there are no surprises.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Enham Alamein.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- 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.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing after isolating them.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Enham Alamein
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Enham Alamein and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. In Enham Alamein, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Enham Alamein sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Enham Alamein is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 2 miles south-west. For schools such as Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint George, or anywhere in Enham Alamein, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
