Extract fan cleaning in Blackfield, done properly
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. We are often asked to deal with grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, across fan housings, axial fans and in-line fans.
Around a smaller place like Blackfield, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What affects the quote in Blackfield
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Leave it or put it right?
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. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Blackfield than wait for a failure.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for most single fans, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a place like Blackfield 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 parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Blackfield?
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Francis or elsewhere in Blackfield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of insurance

Other services in Blackfield
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
Blackfield: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Blackfield?
Blackfield is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who inspects food businesses in Blackfield?
The local authority for Blackfield is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Report rattles or humming early
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Kitchen extracts in Blackfield
Blackfield lies within about 2 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 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 9 takeaways across Blackfield and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Blackfield is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
