About our extract fan cleaning in Hatherden
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. The work covers in-line fans, axial fans and centrifugal fans, and people most often call us about grease stains around the discharge and grease around the motor and its mounts.
Work in a small place like Hatherden starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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, and that is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Hatherden
Is Hatherden within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which environmental health team covers Hatherden?
Kitchens in Hatherden are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What does TR19 mean?
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.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so you always know what was cleaned.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How long is a fan clean?
A single accessible fan does not take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Hatherden
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Hatherden
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Rough running from the extract fan
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hatherden Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Hatherden, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Hatherden sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Hatherden. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Why deal with it now?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. In a small place like Hatherden, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
