Extract fan cleaning in Asheridge, Buckinghamshire
Extract fan cleaning for Asheridge, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan left out of previous cleans
Extract fan cleaning in Asheridge, done properly
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. If you have rough running from the extract fan and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Asheridge, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and 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.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Kitchen extracts in Asheridge
There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Asheridge, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. The fire and rescue service for Asheridge is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Asheridge. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Historic houses near Asheridge, such as Cholesbury Manor House about 1.7 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John's Church or elsewhere in Asheridge, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Asheridge questions
Is Asheridge within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Asheridge included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Asheridge out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Asheridge. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
An unbalanced impeller, typically from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Asheridge.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What we’re called out for in Asheridge
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:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A heavily greased fan housing
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Chartridge Combined School or anywhere near Asheridge, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before you book
