Kitchen extracts in Ossemsley
At about 3 miles from the coast, Ossemsley is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Ossemsley, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Ossemsley. 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Avon Tyrrell House is about 3.4 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near St John or anywhere around Ossemsley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

About our extract fan cleaning in Ossemsley
We’ve been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers in-line fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans, and common reasons people get in touch are less air being pulled from the kitchen and burning smells from the fan area.
Somewhere as small as Ossemsley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
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 you know where you stand.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Visits to a village like Ossemsley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- File the fan’s report with your other records
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
FAQs for Ossemsley
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan cleaning in Ossemsley?
It can. Being within about 3 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Ossemsley than inland. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Ossemsley?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Ossemsley. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will plan the visit around them.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, where it makes sense. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan typically means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What we’re called out for in Ossemsley
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Look out for any of the following:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Rough running from the extract fan
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
A hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 5.4 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Other services in Ossemsley
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. 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 work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
