How we handle extract fan cleaning in Hurstbourne Priors
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. The work covers roof-mounted fans, fan housings and discharge points, and people most often call us about hot, greasy smells near the fan and a fan shaking on its mounts.
Work in a small place like Hurstbourne Priors starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Questions from Hurstbourne Priors
Can you get to a site in Hurstbourne Priors?
Yes, Hurstbourne Priors is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Hurstbourne Priors be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Hurstbourne Priors needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

What else we do in Hurstbourne Priors
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep records of every fan clean
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hurstbourne Priors
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Hurstbourne Priors and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, 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. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Hurstbourne Priors, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Grease, kitchens and Hurstbourne Priors
We cover Hurstbourne Priors, about 59 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. The fire and rescue service for Hurstbourne Priors 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 5.2 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Hurstbourne Priors, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Testbourne Community School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damaged fan blades
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. A fault that closes a site in a village like Hurstbourne Priors affects everyone who depends on it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
