Extract fan cleaning in Up Somborne, done properly
We’ve been trading since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Common call-outs are for less air being pulled from the kitchen and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, across roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
In a village or hamlet like Up Somborne, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

FAQs for Up Somborne
Can the work in Up Somborne be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Up Somborne does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is Up Somborne within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Up Somborne is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after photos go into a report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
The fan follows the full system’s interval at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Up Somborne.
- 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.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Extract fan cleaning in Up Somborne: the local picture
Fire safety in Up Somborne falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Up Somborne. 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints Church, or anywhere in Up Somborne, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

What else we do in Up Somborne
When to call us in Up Somborne
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal Hampshire County Hospital about 4.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What your quote should include
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether VAT is included
- Proof of insurance
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Why act early in Up Somborne
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Up Somborne is calmer for everyone.
