About our extract fan cleaning in Heckfield Heath
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers axial fans, in-line fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about weak extraction at the canopy and a noisy fan that has got louder over time.
Work in a small place like Heckfield Heath starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.

Other services in Heckfield Heath
Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and it collects grease unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What happens if it’s left?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. A fault that closes a site in a village like Heckfield Heath affects everyone who depends on it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Heckfield Heath, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- 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.

Advice
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Heckfield Heath
Look up Heckfield Heath on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Heckfield Heath. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Heckfield Heath 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. Food hygiene inspections in Heckfield Heath are the job of Hart 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.

Common questions in Heckfield Heath
Can you work in Heckfield Heath outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Heckfield Heath needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Heckfield Heath?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Heckfield Heath. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Before and after photos go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Heckfield Heath?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks in BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
How we price extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
