FAQs for Hatch Warren
Who inspects food businesses in Hatch Warren?
The local authority for Hatch Warren is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Hatch Warren out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Hatch Warren. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. 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.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hatch Warren
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. 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 are dealing with a fan that no longer moves enough air and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can help, from fan housings, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.
In a smaller place like Hatch Warren, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Common problems we fix in Hatch Warren
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
School kitchens, at schools like Hatch Warren Infant School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Make sure the fan is included each time
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
