How we handle extract fan cleaning in St Mary Bourne
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and in-line fans, and people most often call us about a smell of hot grease from the extract and a fan that has never been cleaned.
Work in a small place like St Mary Bourne starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in St Mary Bourne
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in St Mary Bourne, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Never cook with a filter missing
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

Kitchen extracts in St Mary Bourne
Look up St Mary Bourne on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central St Mary Bourne. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Food hygiene inspections in St Mary Bourne are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. St Mary Bourne is covered by 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.

How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like St Mary Bourne, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

St Mary Bourne: your questions answered
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in St Mary Bourne during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around St Mary Bourne, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you work in villages like St Mary Bourne?
Yes, St Mary Bourne is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
An unbalanced impeller, normally from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
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.
