What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Woodgreen can be planned properly.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Woodgreen
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. If you’re dealing with weak extraction at the canopy and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Woodgreen, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What else we do in Woodgreen
Managing agents and facilities teams in Woodgreen
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Woodgreen
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Weak extraction at the canopy
School kitchens, at schools like Breamore Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Extract fan cleaning in Woodgreen: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses in Woodgreen and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Woodgreen get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Woodgreen 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Boniface or anywhere around Woodgreen, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Historic houses near Woodgreen, such as Breamore House about 1.5 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Woodgreen: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Woodgreen?
In Woodgreen, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work in villages like Woodgreen?
Yes, Woodgreen is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t start while we work. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Woodgreen
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
What happens if it’s left?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. In a small place like Woodgreen, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
