How we handle extract fan cleaning in Preston Candover
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. If you have grease stains around the discharge and thick grease on the impeller and casing, we can put it right, from centrifugal fans, discharge points and in-line fans onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Preston Candover, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Check filters are seated before cooking
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Why act early in Preston Candover
A fan clean in Preston Candover does not take long: it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Planning a trip to Preston Candover ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

Preston Candover: your questions answered
Can you come to Preston Candover after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Preston Candover keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Preston Candover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
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.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Common problems we fix in Preston Candover
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Hall Place, about 3.6 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Preston Candover; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Preston Candover
It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Preston Candover.

Preston Candover is covered by 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.
