Extract fan cleaning in Aston Abbotts
We’ve been trading since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. If you have rough running from the extract fan and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Aston Abbotts
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Aston Abbotts in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Aston Abbotts. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Aston Abbotts?
That is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If we find wear or damage, we’ll explain it and send you a fixed quote.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Aston Abbotts
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Aston Abbotts
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Aston Abbotts as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
What we are most often called out for:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Aston Abbotts (Ascott House is about 3.1 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of insurance
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether a survey comes first
What else we do in Aston Abbotts
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. The timing of a visit to Aston Abbotts is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Leave a clear route to the fan
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Aston Abbotts
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A motor that has burnt out
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
