Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Old Basing
Do you work overnight in Old Basing?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Old Basing can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire authority looks after Old Basing?
Fire safety enforcement in Old Basing is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Every clean has a photo report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

Do you have insurance?

Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Extract fan cleaning in Old Basing
Any fan serving a kitchen in Old Basing is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. Typical jobs include a fan left out of previous cleans and grease around the motor and its mounts, on discharge points, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Old Basing gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Around Old Basing, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What a clean will not put right

Managing agents and facilities teams in Old Basing
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Old Basing
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Old Basing as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
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 Old Basing, about 3 miles west.

Extract fan cleaning in Old Basing: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Old Basing, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Old Basing get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Old Basing. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (The Vyne is about 3.3 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Old Basing, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Around Old Basing, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- 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.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
