About our extract fan cleaning in Akeley
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Akeley, usually within one working day. If you have vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, we can help, from discharge points, axial fans and fan housings onwards.
In a small place like Akeley, 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.
A written report with pictures follows every 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 happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Akeley, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it typically is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. Somewhere as small as Akeley, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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 can quote for the whole system.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Akeley
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Akeley kitchens: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Akeley are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Akeley is covered by Buckinghamshire 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.
A hospital like Buckingham Community Hospital, about 2.1 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Akeley Wood Senior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Where a hall near Church of St Mary (Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary), or anywhere in Akeley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. 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 most single fans. The timing of a visit to Akeley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Akeley
Can you work in Akeley outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Akeley keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Akeley during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Akeley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

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 usually reply within one working day.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
