Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hursley
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that is what we clean. If you’re dealing with a noisy fan that has got louder over time and an extract fan with no cleaning record, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Hursley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Hursley.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
What we are called out for in Hursley
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
For schools such as John Keble Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they recommend a next date
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Extract fan cleaning in Hursley: the local picture
There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Hursley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. The fire and rescue service for Hursley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Hursley get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Royal Hampshire County Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hursley, about 3.6 miles north-east. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Hursley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Check filters are seated before cooking
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Make sure the fan is reachable. 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.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Common questions in Hursley
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Hursley in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hursley. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Which environmental health team covers Hursley?
Food hygiene inspections in Hursley are carried out by Winchester City council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hursley
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. A planned visit to Hursley is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
