It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Blashford.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Extract fan cleaning in Blashford: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 10 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Blashford. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Blashford 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. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Blashford. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary and All Saints or elsewhere in Blashford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Avon Tyrrell House is about 4.7 miles south-east), access may need planning.

How we price extract fan cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Blashford?
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Blashford is St Leonard's Hospital, about 4.5 miles south-west.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What insurance they carry
- Whether a survey comes first
How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Other services in Blashford
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. It’s simpler to plan the work at Blashford now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

Common questions in Blashford
Can the work in Blashford be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Blashford can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which fire service covers Blashford?
Fire safety enforcement in Blashford is handled by 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.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Before and after pictures go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
How long is a fan clean?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
