We’ve been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. If you have grease stains around the discharge and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can help.
In a small place like Aspley Guise, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Wiring faults to the fan

What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and it collects grease unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Why deal with it now?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two for most single fans. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Aspley Guise.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Aspley Guise
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Botolph, or anywhere in Aspley Guise, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Aspley Guise
Food Standards Agency data counts about 13 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Aspley Guise. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Aspley Guise are the job of Central Bedfordshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Aspley Guise is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

Aspley Guise: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Aspley Guise?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Aspley Guise is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Aspley Guise?
In Aspley Guise, it’s Central Bedfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
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. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so you do not have to close during trading.
