Buckinghamshire · Extract fan cleaning
Amersham extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning for commercial sites in Amersham and across Buckinghamshire. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Grease stains around the discharge
What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
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.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Amersham
In Amersham, 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. Typical jobs include a noisy fan that has got louder over time and a smell of hot grease from the extract, on centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings.
Kitchens in towns like Amersham are often in older buildings that were never designed for them, so duct runs can be awkward, with bends, long horizontal sections and too few access panels. Where the duct cannot be reached, new panels can be fitted, and anything left uncleaned is recorded on the report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Grease, kitchens and Amersham
The FSA’s data shows about 13 pubs and bars registered within about 1.5 miles of central Amersham. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Amersham get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Amersham sits within the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Commuter trade near Amersham station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Amersham (Chenies Manor House is about 3 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Amersham?
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Amersham Hospital (about 1.2 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Amersham
Do you work at weekends in Amersham?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Amersham does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can school kitchens in Amersham be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 16 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Amersham. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Do you cover Amersham?
Yes. We work in Amersham and across Buckinghamshire, within our South East and London area. To book, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If we find wear or damage, we’ll explain it and send you a fixed quote.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
The fan follows the full system’s interval, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork.
