Questions from Marchwood
Do you cover smaller places like Marchwood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Marchwood?
The local authority for Marchwood is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Extract fan cleaning in Marchwood
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. If you have a noisy fan that has got louder over time and grease escaping from the fan outlet, we can help, from axial fans, in-line fans and discharge points onwards.
Around a smaller place like Marchwood, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Report grease escaping from the fan
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A site near Marchwood typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- 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.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Marchwood
A greasy fan in Marchwood is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Western Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Marchwood, about 2.3 miles north.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Marchwood and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

Other services in Marchwood
Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Damaged fan blades
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A fan that will not start
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Sea air reaches Marchwood, 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. The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Marchwood. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Marchwood sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
