Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

About our extract fan cleaning in Foulford
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you are dealing with an extract fan with no cleaning record and grease stains around the discharge, we can put it right.
In a small place like Foulford, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. It’s simpler to plan the work at Foulford now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Foulford: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Foulford?
Yes. Foulford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire authority looks after Foulford?
Foulford is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Foulford can be planned properly.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

Kitchen extracts in Foulford
Look up Foulford on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Foulford. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Fire safety in Foulford falls to 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. In Foulford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Foulford, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Historic houses near Foulford, such as Avon Tyrrell House about 3.3 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What we’re called out for in Foulford
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Foulford is St Leonard's Hospital, about 5.5 miles south-west.
