How we handle extract fan cleaning in Salters Heath
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers roof-mounted fans, fan housings and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are grease around the motor and its mounts and a fan that no longer moves enough air.
For a kitchen in or near Salters Heath, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Salters Heath
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Leave a clear route to the fan
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

Common questions in Salters Heath
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Salters Heath?
The local authority for Salters Heath is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work at weekends in Salters Heath?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Salters Heath doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after pictures go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
When to call us in Salters Heath
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Salters Heath as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A motor area thick with grease
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Park Prewett Hospital (about 2.5 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify

- Whether a written report and pictures are included
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Salters Heath run smoothly.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Grease, kitchens and Salters Heath
It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Salters Heath. 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. We cover Salters Heath, about 46 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Salters Heath (The Vyne is about 1.5 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Priory Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
