What extract fan cleaning looks like in Southrope
Southrope sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Southrope is about 46 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Southrope (Hall Place is about 3.1 miles south), fitting access panels needs care. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St. Mary or elsewhere in Southrope, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Extract fan cleaning in Southrope
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. If you’re dealing with a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and burning smells from the fan area, we can help, from in-line fans, centrifugal fans and axial fans onwards.
Work in a small place like Southrope starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Other services in Southrope
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Southrope
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Burning smells from the fan area
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
A hospital like Alton Community Hospital, about 4.6 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. For a village or hamlet like Southrope, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. We clean them where they can be safely reached, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Southrope
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work

Who inspects food businesses in Southrope?
That is Basingstoke and Deane council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Southrope. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, where it makes sense. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan typically means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.

We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
