How we handle extract fan cleaning in Headbourne Worthy

If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. We’re often asked to deal with grease around the motor and its mounts and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, on centrifugal fans, fan housings and discharge points.

Work in a small place like Headbourne Worthy starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

When it’s something else

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
  • Wiring faults to the fan
  • Damaged fan blades

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

What the work covers

  • Discharge points
  • Fan housings
  • In-line fans
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Centrifugal fans
  • Axial fans

What the work involves, part by part

Wall fans

A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.

Inline duct fans

Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.

Grease, kitchens and Headbourne Worthy

According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Headbourne Worthy, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Headbourne Worthy. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Headbourne Worthy is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

Bursars and site managers at schools such as Kings Worthy Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 2.1 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Headbourne Worthy, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How the visit works

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a small place like Headbourne Worthy, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.

  1. First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
  2. With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
  3. Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
  4. We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
  5. We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.

Preparing for the visit

  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Clear loose items from the work area

Ask for a quote

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Questions from Headbourne Worthy

Do you work at weekends in Headbourne Worthy?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Which environmental health team covers Headbourne Worthy?

In Headbourne Worthy, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.

What do you need from me for a quote?

The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

What if the fan needs more than a clean?

A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.

Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?

Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.

How long will it take to clean the fan?

Allow an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Your quote will give an idea.

Does the law say we must follow TR19?

No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. 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.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Headbourne Worthy

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:

  • The condition of the system
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • The scale of the work

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Helping us quote

Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • A few general shots of the system
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • The postcode and the type of business

To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

What happens if it’s left?

For a kitchen in Headbourne Worthy, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Headbourne Worthy is calmer for everyone.

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
