About our extract fan cleaning in Red Rice
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. Typical jobs include an extract fan with no cleaning record and a fan shaking on its mounts, on axial fans, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Red Rice
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Red Rice. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Red Rice get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Red Rice. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 2.8 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Red Rice, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What staff can safely do
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, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What a clean won’t put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A motor that has burnt out
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
When to call us in Red Rice
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Redrice School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What insurance they carry
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed

What else we do in Red Rice
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Red Rice.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through 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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Red Rice
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.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Questions from Red Rice
Do you work at weekends in Red Rice?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Red Rice out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Red Rice, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan usually means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
