Headley Down extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning across Headley Down and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.

- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
About our extract fan cleaning in Headley Down
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. If you’re dealing with weak extraction at the canopy and a heavily greased fan housing, we can help, from axial fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans onwards.
Around a smaller place like Headley Down, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for most single fans, and we clear up before we go. Everything the job in Headley Down needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- 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
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
Extract fan cleaning in Headley Down: the local picture
Headley Down is covered by 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. Food hygiene inspections in Headley Down are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hospital like Chase Community Hospital, about 2.8 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

School kitchens, at schools like The Holme Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

How the job changes from site to site

Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
FAQs for Headley Down
Do you work at weekends in Headley Down?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire authority looks after Headley Down?
Fire safety enforcement in Headley Down is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
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.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after pictures go into a report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
A common cause is grease. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
