About our extract fan cleaning in Northington
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. Common call-outs are for weak extraction at the canopy and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, across discharge points, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
Work in a small place like Northington starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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 sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. That is what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Somewhere as small as Northington, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Trading since 2009

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Extract fan cleaning around Northington
Kitchens in Northington get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Northington falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Around Northington, as anywhere, we clean the parts you cannot see as well as the canopy you can. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Northington, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Northington: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Northington?
That is Basingstoke and Deane council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Northington. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Northington?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Northington. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Northington.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Northington and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
