Extract fan cleaning in Exton
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. Typical jobs include a fan left out of previous cleans and weak extraction at the canopy, on discharge points, centrifugal fans and axial fans.
Somewhere as small as Exton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Exton
Which environmental health team covers Exton?
Kitchens in Exton are inspected by Winchester City 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.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Exton during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Exton, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the quote in Exton
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Exton can be planned properly.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
When to call us in Exton
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Meonstoke Church of England Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What else we do in Exton
Kitchen extracts in Exton
The fire and rescue service for Exton is 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. We cover Exton, about 57 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.2 miles north), access may need planning. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Exton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Part by part
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.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
