- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller

- Burning smells from the fan area
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A site near Popley normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Extract fan cleaning in Popley, done properly
We’ve been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Common call-outs are for hot, greasy smells near the fan and a fan that has never been cleaned, on roof-mounted fans, axial fans and discharge points.
In a smaller place like Popley, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.

Common problems we fix in Popley
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Look out for any of the following:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Bede's Catholic Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Popley
Who is the fire and rescue service for Popley?
Fire safety enforcement in Popley is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work overnight in Popley?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Popley keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Popley
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 11 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Popley. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Popley is covered by 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. In Popley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (about 1.2 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Popley (The Vyne is about 1.6 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
