Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Frithend
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. If you’re dealing with grease around the motor and its mounts and a fan shaking on its mounts, we can help, from in-line fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans onwards.
In a small place like Frithend, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Common questions in Frithend
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Frithend?
Food hygiene inspections in Frithend are carried out by East Hampshire council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you cover smaller places like Frithend?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
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 work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will plan the visit around them.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How long is a fan clean?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for most single fans. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Frithend before we set off.
- 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.
- 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
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
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 records stay tidy.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Kitchen extracts in Frithend
The fire and rescue service for Frithend is 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. Food hygiene inspections in Frithend are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Church Of The Good Shepherd, or anywhere in Frithend, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Farnham Castle is about 4.8 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Frithend is Chase Community Hospital, about 3.5 miles south.
Frithend is about 4 miles south-west of Farnham, in Hampshire.

Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers

Part by part
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
