Extract fan cleaning in Picket Piece
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. The work covers fan housings, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about grease escaping from the fan outlet and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles.
For a smaller kitchen near Picket Piece, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What else we do in Picket Piece
Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it can’t be reached fully, the report says so.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for most single fans. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Picket Piece when you book.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Picket Piece
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Pilgrims' Cross CofE Aided Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Picket Piece
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Picket Piece?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Picket Piece. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Will you come out to Picket Piece?
Yes. Picket Piece is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
