Extract fan cleaning across Buckinghamshire: what to expect

Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers discharge points, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans, and common reasons people get in touch are thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease.

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.

  1. We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
  2. We isolate the power before opening the housing.
  3. Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
  4. The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
  5. We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.

Extract fan cleaning around Buckinghamshire

Our extract fan cleaning work across Buckinghamshire takes in places such as Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Chesham and the villages in between. Every place on our Buckinghamshire list (263 in all) is covered, with cleans booked around trading hours.

In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work.

Aylesbury: Term dates shape school work: for a school like Buckinghamshire UTC, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital about within half a mile north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Why deal with it now?

Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system.

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • Whether the figure could change on the day
  • If they look at the system before pricing

For landlords and multi-site operators

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning

Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • How big the system is
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • A single visit or a regular plan

You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

Helping us quote

When you contact us, these details help:

  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

What the work involves, part by part

Wall fans

The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.

Roof-mounted fans

Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.

Keeping the system healthy

Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Make sure the fan is included each time
  • Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
  • Keep the grease filters clean and in place
  • Look for grease stains near the discharge

You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.

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.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Buckinghamshire

Do we need to close while you work?

Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.

Can the work be done while we’re closed?

Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll book around them.

Are you accredited?

We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?

At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.

What happens if you can’t reach some of it?

We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

How much notice do you need?

Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?

We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we’ll tell you and quote for the repair.
