How we handle extract fan cleaning in Hamble-le-Rice
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you have hot, greasy smells near the fan and rough running from the extract fan, we can help, from discharge points, in-line fans and centrifugal fans onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near Hamble-le-Rice, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Tell us when your site near Hamble-le-Rice is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
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.

Hamble-le-Rice questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Hamble-le-Rice during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Hamble-le-Rice. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hamble-le-Rice?
In Hamble-le-Rice, it’s Eastleigh council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What we’re called out for in Hamble-le-Rice
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Hamble-le-Rice as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A motor area thick with grease
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Coldeast is the nearest hospital to Hamble-le-Rice, about 1.9 miles east.
