Leave it or put it right?

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mislingford
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. 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 get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you’re dealing with less air being pulled from the kitchen and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Mislingford, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What else we do in Mislingford
Mislingford: your questions answered
Can you come to Mislingford after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Mislingford can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Mislingford?
Yes, Mislingford is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
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.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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.
Common problems we fix in Mislingford
How fast a fan gets greasy in Mislingford depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A motor area thick with grease
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
A hospital like Knowle Hospital, about 3.6 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before you book anyone

- Whether the quote shows VAT
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Mislingford before we set off.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Grease, kitchens and Mislingford
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Mislingford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Fire safety in Mislingford falls to 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. Food hygiene inspections in Mislingford are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
School kitchens, at schools like Swanmore College of Technology for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
