Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Kingsmead
Do you work at weekends in Kingsmead?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Kingsmead can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Kingsmead?
In Kingsmead, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
How long is a fan clean?
Allow an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Your quote will give an idea.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Kingsmead
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Typical jobs include fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, across roof-mounted fans, discharge points and fan housings.
Work in a small place like Kingsmead starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Kingsmead
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning the fan in Kingsmead now is a short job: it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. A fault that closes a site in a village like Kingsmead affects everyone who depends on it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Why us?
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- We diagnose before we treat
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
How the visit 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 the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Kingsmead.
- 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.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Kingsmead
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
What we’re called out for in Kingsmead
A greasy fan in Kingsmead is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A motor area thick with grease
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Knowle Hospital is the nearest hospital to Kingsmead, about 3.1 miles south-west.

Part by part
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
