How we handle extract fan cleaning in Horsebridge
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. Typical jobs include rough running from the extract fan and a heavily greased fan housing, across discharge points, axial fans and in-line fans.
Work in a small place like Horsebridge 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 report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
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.

Grease, kitchens and Horsebridge
Horsebridge 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. In Horsebridge, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hospital like Romsey Community Hospital, about 5.6 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like King's Somborne Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Horsebridge and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Horsebridge
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Horsebridge?
Food hygiene inspections in Horsebridge are carried out by Test Valley council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is Horsebridge within the area you cover?
Yes, Horsebridge is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Horsebridge?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Horsebridge
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Horsebridge
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Common problems we fix in Horsebridge
How fast a fan gets greasy in Horsebridge depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan that has never been cleaned
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Horsebridge (Mottisfont Abbey is about 2.5 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.
