Extract fan cleaning in Weston, done properly
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers discharge points, fan housings and in-line fans, and people most often call us about grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan left out of previous cleans.
Kitchens around a place like Weston are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Weston
At about 1 mile from the coast, Weston is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s data shows about 30 pubs, bars and clubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Weston. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Weston are the job of Southampton council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Weston, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Weston Shore Infant School or anywhere near Weston, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Why act early in Weston
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why book with us
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- We diagnose before we treat
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Common questions in Weston
Do you cover smaller places like Weston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is extract fan cleaning any different in a coastal place like Weston?
It can, as Weston is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What is TR19?
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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Common problems we fix in Weston
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Weston is Royal South Hants Hospital, about 2.2 miles north-west.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If they look at the system before pricing
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Visits to a place like Weston are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep records of every fan clean
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
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
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
