Grease, kitchens and North Street
North Street sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. North Street, about 51 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in North Street, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. School kitchens, at schools like Ropley Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Bentworth Hall is about 3.9 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
North Street is about 6 miles south-west of Alton, in Hampshire. If you need extract fan cleaning in North Street, please call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for a fixed quote.

Extract fan cleaning in North Street, done properly
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are less air being pulled from the kitchen and a smell of hot grease from the extract.
In a village or hamlet like North Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from North Street
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in North Street?
In North Street, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can the work in North Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in North Street keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. Some fans need attention sooner.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Some systems can be priced from photos; 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.
What a clean will not put right
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to North Street run smoothly.
- 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.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in North Street
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
