Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wells-in-the-Field
We have 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 a noisy fan that has got louder over time and hot, greasy smells near the fan, on roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and axial fans.
In a small place like Wells-in-the-Field, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Wells-in-the-Field
Will you come out to Wells-in-the-Field?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Wells-in-the-Field is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Wells-in-the-Field?
Fire safety enforcement in Wells-in-the-Field is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Wells-in-the-Field kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways in Wells-in-the-Field and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wells-in-the-Field. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Wells-in-the-Field is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Nicholas' Church, or anywhere in Wells-in-the-Field, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Whitchurch Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Why act early in Wells-in-the-Field

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Wells-in-the-Field
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Wells-in-the-Field, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
