What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something 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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Extract fan cleaning in Pilley, done properly
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers fan housings, centrifugal fans and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are rough running from the extract fan and a motor area thick with grease.
For a kitchen in or near Pilley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

FAQs for Pilley
Can a school canteen extract in Pilley be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Pilley. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Will you come out to Pilley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Pilley included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Pilley
Pilley lies within about 2 miles of the sea. 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 includes about 3 pubs and bars in Pilley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Pilley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Pilley (Beaulieu Palace House is about 4.4 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Pilley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Pilley is about 2 miles north of Lymington, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in Pilley, we can take on extract fan cleaning. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so trading is not interrupted. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, from busy centres to quieter spots. There’s also a page for Southampton, about 11 miles away.
Our technicians cover all of the SO41 postcode area for extract fan cleaning and the roads nearby. That includes premises on Pilley Street, Burnt House Lane and May Lane and nearby roads. If your site is just outside Pilley, we cover Pilley Bailey (1 mile north-east), Warborne (1 mile south-west), Bull Hill (1 mile east), Portmore (1 mile south-east) and Boldre (1 mile west). We also work in nearby towns such as Eastleigh (15 miles north-east), Fareham (15 miles east), Totton (9 miles north), Chandler's Ford (15 miles north-east), Hedge End (14 miles north-east) and Romsey (15 miles north).
Near you in Pilley
In Pilley, that means kitchens and buildings near Priestlands School, The Red Lion Inn and Southlands School and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Lymington Town station, roughly 1.5 miles south. Nearby you’ll also find St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery (1.7 miles south) and Lymington New Forest Hospital (1.1 miles south-west). Not far away are Boldre Foreshore.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Why it’s worth doing now in Pilley
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Planning a trip to Pilley ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A written report with photos after every visit

What a clean will not put right
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
What we’re called out for in Pilley
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Weak extraction at the canopy
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 Pilley, about 1.1 miles south-west.
Before booking anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether they recommend a next date
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Never cook with a filter missing
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the route to the fan clear. 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 happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two for most single fans. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Pilley run smoothly.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- 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.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
