Hook questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hook?
The local authority for Hook is Fareham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire service covers Hook?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hook. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.

Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Hook
At about 1 mile from the coast, Hook is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 9 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hook. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Hook falls to 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.
A hospital like Coldeast, about 1.7 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Locks Heath Infant School or anywhere near Hook, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Hook, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How the visit works
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 a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a small place like Hook, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Related advice
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep access to the fan clear
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
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.
What else we do in Hook
Why deal with it now?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Fully insured
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
What affects the quote in Hook
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Every site is different, 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
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
What staff can safely do
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. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
