Part by part
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Hensting
If the extract fan in Hensting has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Hensting, normally within one working day. We are often asked to deal with rough running from the extract fan and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, across axial fans, in-line fans and fan housings.
Work in a small place like Hensting 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.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
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 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.
Hensting questions
Do you work in villages like Hensting?
Yes, Hensting is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire service covers Hensting?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hensting. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.

What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. For a village or hamlet like Hensting, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
How we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Need a price for extract fan cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
When it’s something else
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A motor that has burnt out
- Wiring faults to the fan
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Extract fan cleaning in Hensting: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Hensting, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Hensting 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. Kitchens in Hensting get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 4.3 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Common problems we fix in Hensting
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Hensting, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
