Setley extract fan cleaning
Professional extract fan cleaning in and around Setley, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with photos.
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Setley
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Setley as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Setley
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you are dealing with an extract fan with no cleaning record and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Setley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Never cook with a filter missing
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
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.
Extract fan cleaning around Setley
Food Standards Agency records include about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Setley. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Setley. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Setley are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Setley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 2.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Setley is about 4 miles north of Lymington, in Hampshire. Sites in Setley get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. There’s also a page for Southampton, roughly 11 miles from Setley.
Extract fan cleaning in SO42 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Local streets include Tilebarn Lane and Lymington Road, all of which we cover for extract fan cleaning. We also cover the places around Setley: Brockenhurst (1 mile north), South Weirs (1 mile west), Balmerlawn (1 mile north), Lyndhurst (5 miles north) and Emery Down (5 miles north).

What’s near Setley
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Foresters Arms and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Brockenhurst station, about 0.6 miles north. A little further out are St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery (3.6 miles south) and Lymington New Forest Hospital (2.9 miles south-east).
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What affects the quote in Setley
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:

- How easy every part is to reach

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

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. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
