Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hordle
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. If you are dealing with hot, greasy smells near the fan and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, we can put it right.
Kitchens around a place like Hordle are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Why act early in Hordle
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. Around Hordle, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Why book with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- We’re fully insured
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Hordle can usually be finished without a second trip.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Common problems we fix in Hordle
A fan in Hordle builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Historic houses near Hordle, such as Highcliffe Castle about 4.4 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of insurance
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Hordle
The coast is only about 2 miles from Hordle. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 9 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses across Hordle and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hordle. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Hordle, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. 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 Hordle, about 3.3 miles east.

Common questions in Hordle
Which fire service covers Hordle?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Hordle. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is extract fan cleaning any different in a coastal place like Hordle?
It can, as Hordle is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
