About our extract fan cleaning in Hardley
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. We’re often asked to deal with a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and weak extraction at the canopy, across axial fans, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans.
Work in a small place like Hardley 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

The process
There are three stages on the day: 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. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hardley and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Extract fan cleaning around Hardley
Hardley lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 11 pubs, bars and clubs in Hardley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Hardley. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The New Forest Academy or anywhere near Hardley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hardley (Beaulieu Palace House is about 2.9 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.
Hardley is about 2 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire. We carry out extract fan cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Hardley and the rest of Hampshire. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Hardley among them.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hardley
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 records stay tidy.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
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.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
What affects the quote in Hardley
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
When to call us in Hardley
A greasy fan in Hardley is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Where a hall near St Anne, or anywhere in Hardley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Hardley: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in Hardley be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 8 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Hardley. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Which fire service covers Hardley?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Who is the responsible person?
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.
Why act early in Hardley
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.
