Lymore extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning across Lymore and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
When to call us in Lymore
A greasy fan in Lymore 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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A motor area thick with grease
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Lymore, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lymore
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers centrifugal fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about grease stains around the discharge and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles.
In a small place like Lymore, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Lymore
Which council inspects kitchens in Lymore?
That is New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Lymore. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan cleaning in Lymore?
It can. Salt air reaches Lymore, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Extract fan cleaning around Lymore
Lymore is 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. Look up Lymore on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 18 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Lymore, up to about a mile and a half out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Lymore. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Lymore is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 2.9 miles north-east. For schools such as Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Lymore is about 2 miles south-west of Lymington, in Hampshire. We carry out extract fan cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Lymore and the rest of Hampshire. Lymore is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients. Southampton is in our area too, about 15 miles from Lymore.

Around Lymore
Around Lymore, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Priestlands School and The Crown Public House and the streets around them. The closest station to Lymore is Lymington Town station, about 2.7 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Lymington New Forest Hospital (2.9 miles north-east) and St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery (2.4 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Milford on Sea LNR.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Wiring faults to the fan
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. If the system at a site near Lymore fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a small place like Lymore, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
