Extract fan cleaning in Knights Enham, done properly
In Knights Enham, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. Typical jobs include a smell of hot grease from the extract and weak extraction at the canopy, on roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings.
In a small place like Knights Enham, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Knights Enham?
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A heavily greased fan housing
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Knights Enham is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 1.3 miles south-west.
What to look for in a quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
When it’s something else
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Report grease escaping from the fan
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. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Keep the route to the fan clear. 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 the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Knights Enham kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 53 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 27 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Knights Enham, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. The fire and rescue service for Knights Enham 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 Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Knights Enham. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Knights Enham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Knights Enham are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
Knights Enham: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Knights Enham?
The local authority for Knights Enham is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire service covers Knights Enham?
Knights Enham is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.

How long does extract fan cleaning take?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
