When to call us in Dibden Purlieu
Grease condenses as the air cools, 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.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Beaulieu Palace House is about 2.9 miles south-west), access may need planning.

Extract fan cleaning in Dibden Purlieu: the local picture
The coast is only about 2 miles from Dibden Purlieu. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 15 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Dibden Purlieu. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Dibden Purlieu. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
For schools such as Wildground Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal South Hants Hospital about 4 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Dibden Purlieu questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Dibden Purlieu?
The local authority for Dibden Purlieu is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you cover smaller places like Dibden Purlieu?
Yes. Dibden Purlieu is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
It takes an hour or two for most single fans. Your quote will give an idea.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.

Why act early in Dibden Purlieu
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. A quieter site near Dibden Purlieu still needs its system looked after.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, 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 plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Around Dibden Purlieu, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- 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.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
