Extract fan cleaning in Upper Common
In Upper Common, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. If you’re dealing with thick grease on the impeller and casing and grease around the motor and its mounts, we can put it right, from axial fans, discharge points and fan housings onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Upper Common, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Kitchen extracts in Upper Common
Upper Common sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. At about 48 miles from central London, Upper Common sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (about 5.2 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Church of St. Martin, or anywhere in Upper Common, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Upper Common
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Common?
Yes. Upper Common is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Upper Common?
The local authority for Upper Common is Basingstoke and Deane 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.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What we are called out for in Upper Common
How fast a fan gets greasy in Upper Common depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Historic houses near Upper Common, such as Hall Place about 3.9 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
