About our extract fan cleaning in Beaulieu
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers centrifugal fans, axial fans and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are a heavily greased fan housing and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
For a kitchen in or near Beaulieu, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Beaulieu
Beaulieu lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Beaulieu. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Kitchens in Beaulieu get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 5.4 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For schools such as Beaulieu Village Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Beaulieu is about 4 miles south-west of Hythe, in Hampshire. Beaulieu gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. Beaulieu is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for extract fan cleaning. Southampton is in our area too, around 7 miles away.

What we’re called out for in Beaulieu
How fast a fan gets greasy in Beaulieu depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Beaulieu Palace House, about 0.1 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Beaulieu; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Common questions in Beaulieu
Can you get to a site in Beaulieu?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Beaulieu is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can sea air affect extract fan cleaning in Beaulieu?
It can, as Beaulieu is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after photos go into a report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Report grease escaping from the fan
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere as small as Beaulieu, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- 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
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

What else we do in Beaulieu
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
When it’s something else
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- A fan that will not start
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
