Extract fan cleaning in St Cross, done properly
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you have less air being pulled from the kitchen and grease escaping from the fan outlet, we can help, from roof-mounted fans, fan housings and axial fans onwards.
In a smaller place like St Cross, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Never cook with a filter missing
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near St Cross when you book.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What affects the quote in St Cross
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
When to call us in St Cross
How fast a fan gets greasy in St Cross depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
School kitchens, at schools like St Faith's Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Questions from St Cross
Do you work in villages like St Cross?
Yes, St Cross is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to St Cross after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in St Cross can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean will not mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
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.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Extract fan cleaning around St Cross
Look up St Cross on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 111 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 26 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central St Cross. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Fire safety in St Cross falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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 St Cross are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near St. Cross Church, or anywhere in St Cross, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Royal Hampshire County Hospital, about 0.9 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
St Cross is about 1 mile south of Winchester, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of St Cross or further out, we cover extract fan cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. St Cross is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work for extract fan cleaning. Our Southampton page covers sites nearby, about 10 miles away.

Landmarks near St Cross

Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. A site near St Cross that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
