FAQs for Martin
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Martin?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Martin. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which environmental health team covers Martin?
Food hygiene inspections in Martin are carried out by New Forest council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Martin?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Extract fan cleaning in Martin
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Martin, usually within one working day. The work covers axial fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are thick grease on the impeller and casing and less air being pulled from the kitchen.
Work in a small place like Martin starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
How we price extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

When you contact us, these details help:

Extract fan cleaning in Martin: the local picture
It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Martin. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Martin. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
For kitchens in and around Martin, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What we are called out for in Martin
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Martin, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Martin, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
