Why act early in Lyde Green

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Lyde Green
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. The work covers fan housings, centrifugal fans and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles.
Somewhere as small as Lyde Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Lyde Green.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Lyde Green
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Lyde Green. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Lyde Green sits within the area of 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 Hart council inspect food businesses in Lyde Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Lyde Green (Stratfield Saye House is about 2.8 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Rotherwick Church or elsewhere in Lyde Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
FAQs for Lyde Green
Can you come to Lyde Green after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Lyde Green keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Lyde Green?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so you always know what was cleaned.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
The fan follows the full system’s interval at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t start while we work. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Lyde Green
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Lyde Green is Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 5.8 miles west.
Questions to ask before you book

- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
How we price extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
