Extract fan cleaning in Upper Burgate
We have been trading since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Common call-outs are for weak extraction at the canopy and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, across roof-mounted fans, axial fans and centrifugal fans.
In a small place like Upper Burgate, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Kitchen extracts in Upper Burgate
The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs, bars and clubs registered in Upper Burgate and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Upper Burgate falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Upper Burgate, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Burgate School and Sixth Form, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Woodgreen Methodist Church, or anywhere in Upper Burgate, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Why deal with it now?
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. In a place like Upper Burgate, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Upper Burgate?
How fast a fan gets greasy in Upper Burgate depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Upper Burgate (Breamore House is about 1.6 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before you book

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Upper Burgate
Can school kitchens in Upper Burgate be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Upper Burgate, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is Upper Burgate within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site does not lose a service.
What affects the quote in Upper Burgate
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Upper Burgate knowing what to expect.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
