What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Newnham, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. Planning a trip to Newnham ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Newnham
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. Common call-outs are for grease stains around the discharge and weak extraction at the canopy, across discharge points, axial fans and centrifugal fans.
For a kitchen in or near Newnham, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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 give you a fixed quote.
Extract fan cleaning around Newnham
There are about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Newnham, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Newnham. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Newnham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Newnham (The Vyne is about 4.6 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St. Nicholas, or anywhere in Newnham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Newnham
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
FAQs for Newnham
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Newnham?
Newnham is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work at weekends in Newnham?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Newnham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
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.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks, under BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
When to call us in Newnham
A greasy fan in Newnham is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital is the nearest hospital to Newnham, about 5.2 miles west.
Questions to ask before booking
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the price is fixed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Other services in Newnham
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. In a small place like Newnham, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
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.
