Extract fan cleaning in Worthy Down
In Worthy Down, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. Common call-outs are for a fan coated in grease inside its housing and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, on discharge points, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans.
In a village or hamlet like Worthy Down, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Common questions in Worthy Down
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Worthy Down?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Worthy Down. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Worthy Down?
The local authority for Worthy Down is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. After cleaning, we’ll tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Why act early in Worthy Down
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Worthy Down rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Fully insured
- Every visit written up, with pictures
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Damaged fan blades
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Worthy Down.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Worthy Down
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Worthy Down as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease stains around the discharge
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal Hampshire County Hospital about 3.5 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
