Why it’s worth doing now in Rockbourne
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Rockbourne
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are vibration from an unbalanced impeller and weak extraction at the canopy.
In a small place like Rockbourne, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Rockbourne
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Make sure the fan is reachable. 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 we’re called out for in Rockbourne
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Rockbourne, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Proof of insurance
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Rockbourne.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Related advice
Rockbourne: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Rockbourne?
That is 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.
Will you come out to Rockbourne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks, under BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
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. That is our job.
What affects the quote in Rockbourne
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
