About our extract fan cleaning in High Cross
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. Common call-outs are for weak extraction at the canopy and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, across in-line fans, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans.
In a village or hamlet like High Cross, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, 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.

Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning the fan in High Cross now is a short job: the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Planning a trip to High Cross ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Managing agents and facilities teams in High Cross
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

What else we do in High Cross
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Report grease escaping from the fan
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near High Cross, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload

High Cross kitchens: local notes
At about 50 miles from central London, High Cross sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in High Cross. 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital about 2.7 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in High Cross, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Froxfield Church of England Primary School or anywhere near High Cross, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in High Cross
Is High Cross within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers High Cross?
The local authority for High Cross is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we’ll explain it and give you a fixed quote.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.

It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
