Extract fan cleaning in Southington
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Southington, normally within one working day. The work covers in-line fans, discharge points and axial fans, and people most often call us about a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan left out of previous cleans.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your 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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Southington
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
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, before work begins.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Southington.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Related advice
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Southington kitchens: local notes
There are about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Southington, 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. The fire and rescue service for Southington is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Southington get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Southington, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Overton Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Southington questions
Who inspects food businesses in Southington?
The local authority for Southington is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you get to a site in Southington?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Southington included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Why act early in Southington
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. A fault that closes a site in a village like Southington affects everyone who depends on it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
