Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bouldnor
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan with no cleaning record and a motor area thick with grease.
In a village or hamlet like Bouldnor, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Common questions in Bouldnor
Does being near the coast affect extract fan cleaning in Bouldnor?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Bouldnor gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Do you work in villages like Bouldnor?
Yes. Bouldnor is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We’ll often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan normally means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. The timing of a visit to Bouldnor is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Bouldnor kitchens: local notes
Bouldnor lies within about 1 mile 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 works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bouldnor. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Bouldnor. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Mottistone Manor is about 4.4 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. A hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 5.2 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Bouldnor is about 5 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. We provide extract fan cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Bouldnor and the rest of the Isle of Wight. 125 places in the Isle of Wight are on our list, large and small. For sites nearby, see our Southampton page (15 miles or so).
Work in PO41 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Extract fan cleaning is available to premises on The Vineyard, Port La Salle and Waters Edge and the roads around them. Neighbouring places we cover for extract fan cleaning include Yarmouth (1 mile west), Cranmore (1 mile east), Hamstead (2 miles north-east), Shalfleet (3 miles east) and Thorns Beach (4 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as Newport (8 miles east), Ryde (14 miles east), Cowes (8 miles north-east), Sandown (14 miles east), Shanklin (14 miles east) and Ventnor (14 miles south-east). Remote and island sites need a little more planning, so please mention your location when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What’s near Bouldnor
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Bugle Hotel, among other places. Bouldnor’s nearest station is Lymington Pier station, about 4.2 miles north-west. Other landmarks nearby include Ferguson Family Museum (1.9 miles south-west) and Yarmouth Castle (1 mile west). Not far away are Compton Down and Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve.
Common problems we fix in Bouldnor
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Bouldnor as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
Where a hall near Church of St Swithin (old), or anywhere in Bouldnor, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
