About our extract fan cleaning in Boyatt Wood
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. We are often asked to deal with grease around the motor and its mounts and less air being pulled from the kitchen, on fan housings, axial fans and in-line fans.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Boyatt Wood gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every 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 a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Boyatt Wood
The FSA’s data shows about 27 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs registered in Boyatt Wood and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Boyatt Wood sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Boyatt Wood get their food hygiene inspections from Eastleigh council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Moorgreen Hospital (about 3.9 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near St. Peter's Church, or anywhere in Boyatt Wood, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

For landlords and multi-site operators

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much 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 smaller place like Boyatt Wood, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What else we do in Boyatt Wood
How we price extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
When to call us in Boyatt Wood
How fast a fan gets greasy in Boyatt Wood 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.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Crestwood Community School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of insurance
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed

Boyatt Wood: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Boyatt Wood?
Fire safety enforcement in Boyatt Wood is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Boyatt Wood?
The local authority for Boyatt Wood is Eastleigh 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.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How long is a fan clean?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
