Extract fan cleaning in Poulner: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 12 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Poulner. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Poulner. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Poulner is covered by 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Poulner Infant School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Poulner is St Leonard's Hospital, about 4.4 miles south-west. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Poulner, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

About our extract fan cleaning in Poulner
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. If you are dealing with burning smells from the fan area and grease around the motor and its mounts, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Poulner, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- An impeller that is bent or split
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Tell us when your site near Poulner is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- File the fan’s report with your other records
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Questions from Poulner
Is Poulner within the area you cover?
Yes, Poulner is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Poulner in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Poulner. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
