Extract fan cleaning in West Tisted
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. We are often asked to deal with a motor area thick with grease and a heavily greased fan housing, on axial fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans.
In a village or hamlet like West Tisted, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to West Tisted is calmer for everyone.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Common questions in West Tisted
Who is the fire and rescue service for West Tisted?
Fire safety enforcement in West Tisted is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can the work in West Tisted be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in West Tisted keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, because it unbalances the fan. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in West Tisted
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
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 will go through it with you.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Wiring faults to the fan
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep records of every fan 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.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Extract fan cleaning around West Tisted
West Tisted sits within the area of 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. Food hygiene inspections in West Tisted are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in West Tisted, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Historic houses near West Tisted, such as Hinton Ampner House about 3.6 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in West Tisted before we set off.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
