Hampshire · Extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning in Ashley, Hampshire
Extract fan cleaning in Ashley from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Extract fan cleaning in Ashley, done properly
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. We are often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mounts and hot, greasy smells near the fan, across in-line fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points.
In a smaller place like Ashley, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Report rattles or humming early
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Kitchen extracts in Ashley
Ashley is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 25 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 21 takeaways in Ashley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Ashley 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.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Ashley is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 4.3 miles east. For schools such as Ashley Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Ashley is about 4 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Across the BH25 area, we cover extract fan cleaning for commercial sites. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Ashley is one of them. For sites nearby, see our Southampton page, about 15 miles away.

For rail, the closest station is New Milton station, about 0.7 miles south-west of the centre.

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Ashley: your questions answered
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Ashley during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Ashley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 12 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Will you come out to Ashley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In a smaller place like Ashley, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- 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.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When to call us in Ashley
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan that has never been cleaned
For kitchens close to New Milton station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
