Cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points for Boarhunt, with a survey first and a report with photos at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.

- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Boarhunt
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. If you have grease stains around the discharge and weak extraction at the canopy, we can help, from fan housings, axial fans and centrifugal fans onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Boarhunt, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we are called out for in Boarhunt
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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
School kitchens, at schools like Cams Hill School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What affects the quote in Boarhunt
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Boarhunt, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Boarhunt kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Boarhunt, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Boarhunt. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Boarhunt falls to 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Knowle Hospital about 2.9 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Boarhunt, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Boarhunt is about 3 miles north-east of Fareham, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Boarhunt or further out, extract fan cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building.

Why deal with it now?
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. Somewhere as small as Boarhunt, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

FAQs for Boarhunt
Which fire service covers Boarhunt?
Boarhunt is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who inspects food businesses in Boarhunt?
The local authority for Boarhunt is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
The fan follows the full system’s interval, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
A single accessible fan does not take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.
