Kitchen extracts in Leagreen
Sea air reaches Leagreen, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s data shows about 6 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Leagreen. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Leagreen is covered by 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Highcliffe Castle is about 4.5 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 3.5 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Leagreen is about 3 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Leagreen or further out, we cover extract fan cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Leagreen among them. Our Southampton page covers sites nearby (15 miles or so).

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Leagreen?
A greasy fan in Leagreen is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Leagreen, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before you book

How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Leagreen.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Questions from Leagreen
Is extract fan cleaning any different in a coastal place like Leagreen?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Leagreen gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Leagreen out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Leagreen, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work in Leagreen?
Yes. Leagreen is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
An unbalanced impeller, normally from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we’ll tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Leave it or put it right?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. In a place like Leagreen, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

What staff can safely do
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, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
