Extract fan cleaning in Horton Heath, Hampshire
We cover Horton Heath for cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A motor area thick with grease
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Horton Heath
Any fan serving a kitchen in Horton Heath is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. If you have a heavily greased fan housing and an extract fan with no cleaning record, we can help, from roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and axial fans onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near Horton Heath, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Horton Heath questions
Can school kitchens in Horton Heath be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Horton Heath. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Horton Heath?
Yes, Horton Heath is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
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.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking is not affected.
How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Why act early in Horton Heath
A fan that sounds rough in Horton Heath is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Horton Heath at a time that suits you.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- An impeller that is bent or split
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Horton Heath
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
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.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Everything the job in Horton Heath needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Grease, kitchens and Horton Heath
The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in and around Horton Heath, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Horton Heath are the job of Eastleigh council’s environmental health team. 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. The fire and rescue service for Horton Heath is 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.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (South Stoneham House is about 3.7 miles west), access may need planning. A hospital like Moorgreen Hospital, about 2 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Fair Oak Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
