Sutton Scotney kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Sutton Scotney, up to about a mile and a half out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Sutton Scotney. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Sutton Scotney are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near Ebenezer Methodist Chapel, or anywhere in Sutton Scotney, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Sutton Scotney
We have been trading since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. If you have a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and less air being pulled from the kitchen, we can help.
In a small place like Sutton Scotney, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. For a village or hamlet like Sutton Scotney, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An impeller that’s bent or split

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Sutton Scotney
Can you work in Sutton Scotney outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Sutton Scotney needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Sutton Scotney?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Sutton Scotney. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Sutton Scotney
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Look out for any of the following:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Burning smells from the fan area
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Around Sutton Scotney, as anywhere, we clean the parts you cannot see as well as the canopy you can.
Before you book anyone
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. If the system at a site near Sutton Scotney fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
