Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Furzey Lodge
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 we plan that during the survey. Typical jobs include burning smells from the fan area and a motor area thick with grease, across discharge points, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. A fault that closes a site in a village like Furzey Lodge affects everyone who depends on it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Kitchen extracts in Furzey Lodge
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Furzey Lodge and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Fire safety in Furzey Lodge falls to 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. Food hygiene inspections in Furzey Lodge are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Beaulieu Village Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Furzey Lodge is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 4.5 miles south-west. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Beaulieu Palace House is about 1.2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Local landmarks in Furzey Lodge
Furzey Lodge’s nearest station is Beaulieu Road station, roughly 2.8 miles north-west. Well-known places in the area include Lymington New Forest Hospital (4.5 miles south-west) and Beaulieu Abbey And Display Of Monastic Life (1.1 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Boldre Foreshore.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Damaged fan blades
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Centrifugal fans

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Questions from Furzey Lodge
Will you come out to Furzey Lodge?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Furzey Lodge included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Furzey Lodge?
That’s New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Furzey Lodge. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Furzey Lodge can be planned properly.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
