Extract fan cleaning in Plaitford Green
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you have grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan shaking on its mounts, we can put it right, from in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans onwards.
In a small place like Plaitford Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Keep the route to the fan clear. 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 a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

What affects the quote in Plaitford Green
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

FAQs for Plaitford Green
Can you come to Plaitford Green after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Plaitford Green needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who inspects food businesses in Plaitford Green?
In Plaitford Green, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
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 happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Plaitford Green can be planned properly.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Plaitford Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Why us?
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- We are fully insured
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
What we are called out for in Plaitford Green
How fast a fan gets greasy in Plaitford Green depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Romsey Community Hospital about 4.9 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What records you will receive afterwards
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Plaitford Green
Plaitford Green sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Plaitford Green get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Leonard or elsewhere in Plaitford Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Landford Manor, about 1.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Plaitford Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
