A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

How we handle extract fan cleaning in New Milton
If the extract fan in New Milton has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in New Milton, typically within one working day.

Around a smaller place like New Milton, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We plan the journey to New Milton and bring what the job is likely to need.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.

How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.

What else we do in New Milton
When to call us in New Milton
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Commuter trade near New Milton station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

- Proof of insurance
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

New Milton: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in New Milton?
In New Milton, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can school kitchens in New Milton be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 9 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of New Milton, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
It takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Your quote will give an idea.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Managing agents and facilities teams in New Milton
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. When a site near New Milton shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in New Milton
At about 2 miles from the coast, New Milton is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 28 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 21 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central New Milton. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers New Milton. 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.
For schools such as The Arnewood School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Lymington New Forest Hospital is the nearest hospital to New Milton, about 5.1 miles east.
