How we handle extract fan cleaning in Vernham Dean
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you’re dealing with an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a fan left out of previous cleans, we can help, from centrifugal fans, axial fans and in-line fans onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Vernham Dean, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When to call us in Vernham Dean
How fast a fan gets greasy in Vernham Dean depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Vernham Dean Gillum's Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Kitchen extracts in Vernham Dean

Why it’s worth doing now in Vernham Dean
A fan that sounds rough in Vernham Dean is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A written report with photos after every visit
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere like Vernham Dean, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.

Advice
What else we do in Vernham Dean
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Vernham Dean
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Vernham Dean?
Fire safety enforcement in Vernham Dean is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who inspects food businesses in Vernham Dean?
In Vernham Dean, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and send you a fixed quote.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
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.
