About our extract fan cleaning in Hillstreet
Any fan serving a kitchen in Hillstreet is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. Typical jobs include hot, greasy smells near the fan and a fan that has never been cleaned, across discharge points, axial fans and in-line fans.
In a village or hamlet like Hillstreet, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere like Hillstreet, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What else we do in Hillstreet
Leave it or put it right?
For a kitchen in Hillstreet, 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. If the system at a site near Hillstreet fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
FAQs for Hillstreet
Do you work in villages like Hillstreet?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hillstreet included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire authority looks after Hillstreet?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
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’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We’ll often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan typically means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Extract fan cleaning in Hillstreet: the local picture
Sea air reaches Hillstreet, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hillstreet, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. In Hillstreet, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tatchbury Mount Hospital about 1.1 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Anne's, or anywhere in Hillstreet, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Part by part
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Common problems we fix in Hillstreet
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Calmore Junior School or anywhere near Hillstreet, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours

- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
