Extract fan cleaning in Ashampstead Green, done properly
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. The work covers centrifugal fans, discharge points and in-line fans, and people most often call us about an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a noisy fan that has got louder over time.
For a kitchen in or near Ashampstead Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ashampstead Green
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Ashampstead Green, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. With notice, the visit to Ashampstead Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere as small as Ashampstead Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

FAQs for Ashampstead Green
Which fire service covers Ashampstead Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Ashampstead Green is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work at weekends in Ashampstead Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Do you work in Ashampstead Green?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Ashampstead Green.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Check filters are seated before cooking
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
How we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
