Extract fan cleaning in Ibsley, done properly
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. If you have burning smells from the fan area and a motor area thick with grease, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Ibsley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Ibsley questions
Which environmental health team covers Ibsley?
Food hygiene inspections in Ibsley are carried out by New Forest council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work at weekends in Ibsley?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ibsley
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Ibsley
A fan in Ibsley 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. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Leonard's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ibsley, about 5.6 miles south-west.
What to look for in a quote
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that will not start
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Visits to a village like Ibsley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Kitchen extracts in Ibsley
Food hygiene inspections in Ibsley are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. 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. Fire safety in Ibsley falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Martins or anywhere around Ibsley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
