Extract Fan Cleaning in Inhurst

What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. A planned visit to Inhurst is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Inhurst
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. If you are dealing with less air being pulled from the kitchen and hot, greasy smells near the fan, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Inhurst, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
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, with full insurance on top.

What affects the quote in Inhurst
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Inhurst
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs, bars and clubs across Inhurst and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Inhurst is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Inhurst. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Saint Mary's Church or elsewhere in Inhurst, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How the job changes from site to site

Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.

The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Somewhere like Inhurst, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system

FAQs for Inhurst
Do you cover smaller places like Inhurst?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Inhurst included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which environmental health team covers Inhurst?
The local authority for Inhurst is Basingstoke and Deane 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.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, where it makes sense. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan usually means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Do we need to close while you work?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will plan the visit around them.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Inhurst?
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan shaking on its mounts
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Hurst School or anywhere near Inhurst, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What paperwork you get at the end
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
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.
