Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tadley
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. If you have a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and grease stains around the discharge, we can put it right.
Many kitchens in a town like Tadley were fitted into buildings built for something else, which can mean awkward duct routes, long flat runs and not enough access panels. Sections we can’t reach are listed on the report, and access panels can be added.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
What else we do in Tadley
Grease, kitchens and Tadley
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 9 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Tadley. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Tadley. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Tadley. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Where a hall near Saint Mary's Church, or anywhere in Tadley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Park Prewett Hospital, about 5.2 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Tadley
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Tadley?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Tadley. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can a school canteen extract in Tadley be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Tadley. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you work in Tadley?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Tadley.
What accreditations do you have?
We are 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.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How long is a fan clean?
It takes an hour or two for most single fans. Your quote will give an idea.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Tadley?
A greasy fan in Tadley is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A motor area thick with grease
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Tadley (The Vyne is about 4 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tadley
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. Booking now keeps it a routine visit to Tadley rather than an urgent one.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. For a site in a town like Tadley, tell us your opening hours, where we can park and how we reach the roof or plant.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
