Extract Fan Cleaning in Fordingbridge
Specialist extract fan cleaning for Fordingbridge: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Call for a fixed quote.
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Tell us when your site near Fordingbridge is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

About our extract fan cleaning in Fordingbridge
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you will get a fixed price, typically within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with rough running from the extract fan and burning smells from the fan area, on fan housings, centrifugal fans and axial fans.
Kitchens around a place like Fordingbridge are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Fordingbridge
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Kitchen extracts in Fordingbridge
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 11 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Fordingbridge. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Fire safety in Fordingbridge falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Fordingbridge. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Breamore House is about 2.8 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Fordingbridge, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Fordingbridge Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A motor that has burnt out
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Fordingbridge and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Common questions in Fordingbridge
Can the work in Fordingbridge be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Fordingbridge?
The local authority for Fordingbridge is New Forest 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.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you cover Fordingbridge?
Yes. We work in Fordingbridge and across Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. Some fans need attention sooner.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
