Extract Fan Cleaning in Oxfordshire

How extract fan cleaning works in Oxfordshire

The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. The work covers discharge points, in-line fans and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan coated in grease inside its housing and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles.

A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.

  1. We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
  2. Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
  3. Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
  4. We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
  5. We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.

What you will pay

The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Kitchen extracts across Oxfordshire

In Oxfordshire, a busy kitchen in a place such as Oxford, Banbury and Didcot and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.

London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in Oxfordshire and beyond.

Oxford: A hospital like Warneford Hospital, about within half a mile east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Clement's Church, or anywhere in Oxford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

What the work involves, part by part

Inline duct fans

Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.

Wall fans

The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.

Aftercare tips

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
  • Run the extract throughout cooking
  • Keep records of every fan clean
  • Check filters are seated before cooking

If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.

A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.

How we price extract fan cleaning

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

  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • Parking and loading at the site

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Asking for a quote

When you contact us, it’s useful to have:

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning

A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • A fan shaking on its mounts
  • A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
  • A motor area thick with grease
  • A fan left out of previous cleans

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Oxfordshire

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.

Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?

Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.

Will we have to shut during the visit?

Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.

Are you insured?

Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.

What accreditations do you have?

CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.

How much notice do you need?

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
