Soberton Heath questions
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Soberton Heath in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Soberton Heath. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Which council inspects kitchens in Soberton Heath?
Food hygiene inspections in Soberton Heath are carried out by Winchester City council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Every clean has a photo report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Soberton Heath
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. Typical jobs include grease around the motor and its mounts and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, across roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points.
In a village or hamlet like Soberton Heath, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep access to the fan clear
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
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.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. 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 most single fans. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Soberton Heath.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Grease, kitchens and Soberton Heath
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Soberton Heath. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Soberton Heath get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Soberton Heath falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
School kitchens, at schools like Newtown Soberton Infant School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Soberton Heath, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Common problems we fix in Soberton Heath
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
A hospital like Knowle Hospital, about 4.1 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
