Extract fan cleaning in Pamber Heath, done properly
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you have a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can help, from fan housings, in-line fans and discharge points onwards.
Somewhere as small as Pamber Heath, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why deal with it now?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Planning a trip to Pamber Heath ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Why us?

- Survey first, then a fixed quote

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Pamber Heath knowing what to expect.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we will tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- A fan that won’t start
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- Damaged fan blades
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

Pamber Heath questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Pamber Heath?
Kitchens in Pamber Heath are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Pamber Heath during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Pamber Heath. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll book around them.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
The fan follows the full system’s interval, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.

Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
How we price extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
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 we start.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Grease, kitchens and Pamber Heath
There are about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pamber Heath, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Fire safety in Pamber Heath falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Pamber Heath, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
School kitchens, at schools like Silchester Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Pamber Heath is Park Prewett Hospital, about 5.4 miles south. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (The Vyne is about 3.8 miles south), access may need planning.
