Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ovington
We’ve been trading since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. We are often asked to deal with grease stains around the discharge and grease around the motor and its mounts, on fan housings, axial fans and discharge points.
In a small place like Ovington, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Why deal with it now?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. With notice, the visit to Ovington can be fitted around your bookings and events.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Part by part
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Grease, kitchens and Ovington
Food Standards Agency data counts about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Ovington. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Ovington. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Ovington falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St John's Rooms And Chapel about 4.9 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as Perins School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What else we do in Ovington
Ovington: your questions answered
Is Ovington within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who inspects food businesses in Ovington?
Food hygiene inspections in Ovington are carried out by Winchester City council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
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 paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after photos go into a report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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 can diagnose it and quote.
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.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Ovington?
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 3.4 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether VAT is included
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to Ovington is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ovington
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
