Our extract fan cleaning service in Slough

A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. We are often asked to deal with thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan shaking on its mounts, on fan housings, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans.

Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows.

  1. We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
  2. With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
  3. The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
  4. We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
  5. The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.

What you will pay

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What’s near Slough

Where we work in Slough

In Slough, we work in places such as Cippenham, Chalvey and Britwell and well beyond. We cover every place we list for Slough, 31 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.

Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in Slough can keep trading.

Slough: Church and community hall kitchens, near St Michael and All Angels or anywhere around Slough, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Commuter trade near Slough station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Why it fails

Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Slough as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.

Common reasons sites call us are:

  • A motor area thick with grease
  • An extract fan with no cleaning record
  • Grease stains around the discharge
  • A smell of hot grease from the extract

What affects the quote in Slough

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

  • What state the system is in
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • The times the site is available
  • How big the system is

The cost 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 you know where you stand.

Helping us quote

To speed up the quote, send us:

  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • A few general shots of the system
  • The site address and the type of premises

For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Keeping the system healthy

No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:

  • Never cook with a filter missing
  • Keep records of every fan clean
  • Run the extract throughout cooking
  • Flag smoke lingering at the canopy

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.

A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.

Questions from Slough

Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?

Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.

What happens to the waste?

We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

Which accreditations do you hold?

We are 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.

Which sectors do you work in?

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.

Will we have to shut during the visit?

Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Do you work in Slough?

Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Slough included.
