How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Standford before we set off.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Extract fan cleaning in Standford, done properly
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers fan housings, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan left out of previous cleans and thick grease on the impeller and casing.
In a village or hamlet like Standford, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.

Why it’s worth doing now in Standford
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. A fault that closes a site in a village like Standford affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Standford: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Standford?
The local authority for Standford is East Hampshire 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Standford?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Standford included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.
What we’re called out for in Standford
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Weak extraction at the canopy
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Weyford Nursery and Primary School or anywhere near Standford, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether they’re fully insured
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What else we do in Standford
How we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see

Extract fan cleaning in Standford: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 13 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 11 takeaways across Standford and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. In Standford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Standford 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.
Where a hall near St Mark's Sacred Church, or anywhere in Standford, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chase Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Standford, about 1.1 miles west.
