About our extract fan cleaning in Hale
In Hale, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. If you are dealing with grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Hale starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Report rattles or humming early
- 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.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Kitchen extracts in Hale
It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hale. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Hale falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as Hale Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Hale, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What’s near Hale

What staff can safely do
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, which is where we come in.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hale
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. In a small place like Hale, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What else we do in Hale
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Visits to a village like Hale are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Hale
Which environmental health team covers Hale?
Food hygiene inspections in Hale are carried out by New Forest council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire service covers Hale?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Hale. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Hale?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
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. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
A common cause is grease. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Hale?
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hale is Salisbury District Hospital, about 5.8 miles north-west.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What insurance they carry
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
