What affects the quote in Thedden
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Thedden
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. We are often asked to deal with weak extraction at the canopy and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, on in-line fans, axial fans and roof-mounted fans.
For a kitchen in or near Thedden, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Thedden questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Thedden?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Thedden?
The local authority for Thedden 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 look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. In a place like Thedden, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Extract fan cleaning in Thedden: the local picture
About 47 miles out from central London, Thedden is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Thedden sits within the area of 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Amery Hill School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Peter's or elsewhere in Thedden, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Historic houses near Thedden, such as Bentworth Hall about 1 mile west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Thedden is about 2 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. Anywhere in GU34, we can take on extract fan cleaning. Thedden is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients. For sites nearby, see our Reading page (21 miles or so).

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Thedden and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
