Extract Fan Cleaning in Micheldever
Extract fan cleaning for commercial sites in Micheldever and across Hampshire. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Micheldever
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. Common call-outs are for a motor area thick with grease and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, on fan housings, in-line fans and discharge points.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, 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 we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Micheldever, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Micheldever: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Micheldever?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Micheldever does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire service covers Micheldever?
Micheldever is in the area of 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.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it cannot start while we work. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For extract fan cleaning in Micheldever, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.

Micheldever sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Micheldever, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Micheldever CofE Primary School or anywhere near Micheldever, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Micheldever
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan clean in Micheldever doesn’t take long: it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. A fault that closes a site in a village like Micheldever affects everyone who depends on it.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
