Kitchen extracts in Rowlands Castle
Sea air reaches Rowlands Castle, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Rowlands Castle, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Food hygiene inspections in Rowlands Castle are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Havant War Memorial Hospital (about 2.6 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Havant Academy or anywhere near Rowlands Castle, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Church on the Green, or anywhere in Rowlands Castle, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Rowlands Castle is about 2 miles north-east of Havant, in Hampshire. From the centre of Rowlands Castle to the outskirts, extract fan cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, large and small.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Rowlands Castle
We’ve been trading since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. If you have burning smells from the fan area and a fan shaking on its mounts, we can help, from roof-mounted fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans onwards.
Kitchens around a place like Rowlands Castle are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. 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.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for most single fans, and we clear up before we go. Your opening hours decide when we come to Rowlands Castle, not ours.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan clean in Rowlands Castle doesn’t take long: the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. When a site near Rowlands Castle shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
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.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Rowlands Castle
Does being near the coast affect extract fan cleaning in Rowlands Castle?
It can. Rowlands Castle is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Which fire service covers Rowlands Castle?
Rowlands Castle is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site does not lose a service.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Rowlands Castle
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
