About our extract fan cleaning in East Boldre
If the extract fan in East Boldre has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in East Boldre, normally within one working day. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are grease stains around the discharge and a smell of hot grease from the extract.
Work in a small place like East Boldre starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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.

East Boldre questions
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in East Boldre in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around East Boldre, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in East Boldre?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and East Boldre is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Do we need to close while you work?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Part by part
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
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.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in East Boldre
At about 3 miles from the coast, East Boldre is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in East Boldre and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Kitchens in East Boldre get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For schools such as Beaulieu Village Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Lymington New Forest Hospital is the nearest hospital to East Boldre, about 4.1 miles south-west. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Beaulieu Palace House is about 1.3 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
East Boldre is about 5 miles north-east of Lymington, in Hampshire. East Boldre gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. East Boldre is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for extract fan cleaning. Southampton is in our area too, about 8 miles from East Boldre.
Work in SO42 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover.

Other places close to East Boldre include Furzey Lodge (1 mile north), Beaulieu (1 mile north-east), Bailey's Hard (1 mile east), The Hummicks (2 miles east) and Dibden Purlieu (4 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Gosport (14 miles east), Eastleigh (12 miles north-east), Fareham (12 miles east), Totton (8 miles north), Chandler's Ford (13 miles north) and Hedge End (11 miles north-east).

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Run the extract throughout cooking
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in East Boldre and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in East Boldre before we set off.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to East Boldre is calmer for everyone.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
