Extract fan cleaning in Hartley Mauditt
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, 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 have grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can put it right, from roof-mounted fans, discharge points and fan housings onwards.
In a small place like Hartley Mauditt, 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.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the quote in Hartley Mauditt
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Questions from Hartley Mauditt
Which fire service covers Hartley Mauditt?
Fire safety enforcement in Hartley Mauditt is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who inspects food businesses in Hartley Mauditt?
That is East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hartley Mauditt. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will book around them.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
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 work begins.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Keep access to the fan clear
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.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. It’s simpler to plan the work at Hartley Mauditt now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Hartley Mauditt, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
