About our extract fan cleaning in Rookley Green
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. If you’re dealing with fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and an extract fan with no cleaning record, we can help.
In a small place like Rookley 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for most single fans, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Rookley Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Part by part
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Grease, kitchens and Rookley Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Rookley Green. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Rookley Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Rookley Green. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Rookley Green (Sheat Manor is about 1.1 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Rookley Green?
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Rookley Green as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Whitecroft Hospital (about 1.8 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Rookley Green
Can you come to Rookley Green after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire authority looks after Rookley Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Rookley Green is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Report rattles or humming early
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Leave a clear route to the fan
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
