Yarmouth questions
Who inspects food businesses in Yarmouth?
Kitchens in Yarmouth are inspected by Isle of Wight council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you cover smaller places like Yarmouth?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Yarmouth included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Extract fan cleaning in Yarmouth
If the extract fan in Yarmouth has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Yarmouth, usually within one working day. If you’re dealing with a smell of hot grease from the extract and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, we can help, from fan housings, discharge points and axial fans onwards.
Work in a small place like Yarmouth starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Yarmouth?
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
What we are most often called out for:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease stains around the discharge
Mottistone Manor, about 4.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Yarmouth; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What insurance they carry
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across the Isle of Wight. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for most single fans, and we clear up before we go. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Yarmouth before we set off.
- 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.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
What else we do in Yarmouth
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Yarmouth
Yarmouth is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records list about 7 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Yarmouth. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Yarmouth. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 4.9 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. James' Church or elsewhere in Yarmouth, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Yarmouth is about 4 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight.
