Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in South Warnborough
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. The work covers discharge points, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are vibration from an unbalanced impeller and an extract fan with no cleaning record.
In a small place like South Warnborough, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. In a small place like South Warnborough, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.

FAQs for South Warnborough
Will you come out to South Warnborough?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and South Warnborough is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in South Warnborough?
Food hygiene inspections in South Warnborough are carried out by Hart 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 work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so you don’t have to close during trading.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks in BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What’s 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 it takes a risk-based approach.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like South Warnborough.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in South Warnborough
A fan in South Warnborough builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
For schools such as Robert May's School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that will not start

Kitchen extracts in South Warnborough
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers South Warnborough. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in South Warnborough are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Alton Community Hospital (about 5.8 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in South Warnborough, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
