Questions from Owslebury
Can the work in Owslebury be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Owslebury does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which council inspects kitchens in Owslebury?
Food hygiene inspections in Owslebury 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.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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 cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
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 call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan normally means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
How long is a fan clean?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking is not affected.
Extract fan cleaning in Owslebury, done properly
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. If you have grease stains around the discharge and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can help, from discharge points, centrifugal fans and axial fans onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. 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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans

Part by part
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
Owslebury kitchens: local notes
Kitchens in Owslebury get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Owslebury is covered by 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 look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Owslebury Primary School or anywhere near Owslebury, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 4 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Owslebury, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Owslebury
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
Want a quote for extract fan cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Leave a clear route to the fan
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Owslebury, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Why deal with it now?
Cleaning the fan in Owslebury now is a short job: the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
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.
