Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lymington
If the extract fan in Lymington has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and you will get a fixed price, normally within one working day. The work covers axial fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are weak extraction at the canopy and a fan that has never been cleaned.
Most kitchens in a town like Lymington cannot close for a day, so cleans are booked after closing, early in the morning or on a quiet day. The kitchen is handed back clean and ready to cook.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. The more we can see of the system beforehand, the smoother the visit to Lymington will be.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Kitchen extracts in Lymington
Sea air reaches Lymington, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Look up Lymington on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 42 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 16 takeaways and sandwich shops across Lymington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. The fire and rescue service for Lymington is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Lymington Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (about 0.9 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What affects the quote in Lymington
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Common problems we fix in Lymington
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Look out for any of the following:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
If you run a café or takeaway near Lymington Town station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the figure could change on the day
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Questions from Lymington
Do you work at weekends in Lymington?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Lymington can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Lymington?
Kitchens in Lymington are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
How long is a fan clean?
Allow a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
