About our extract fan cleaning in Amen Corner
In Amen Corner, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. We’re often asked to deal with a fan that no longer moves enough air and burning smells from the fan area, across fan housings, discharge points and roof-mounted fans.
Kitchens around a place like Amen Corner are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Questions from Amen Corner
Do you work overnight in Amen Corner?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Amen Corner needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Amen Corner?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Amen Corner. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Before and after photos go into a report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Why it’s worth doing now in Amen Corner
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
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 will get one fixed quote.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Amen Corner
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Amen Corner and across Bracknell Forest. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Around Amen Corner, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Kitchen extracts in Amen Corner

Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Amen Corner sits within the area of Royal Berkshire 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. Environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council inspect food businesses in Amen Corner. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Jennett's Park CofE Primary School or anywhere near Amen Corner, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
