Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Aston
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 we also repair and replace extract fans. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Common call-outs are for a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, on centrifugal fans, axial fans and fan housings.
In a small place like Aston, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, 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.

Kitchen extracts in Aston
Food Standards Agency data counts about 43 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Aston. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Aston. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Aston, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wokingham council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Historic houses near Aston, such as Greenlands about 1 mile north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hospital like Marlow Community Hospital, about 4.6 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Aston: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Aston?
In Aston, it’s Wokingham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work in villages like Aston?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Aston is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we’ll explain it and give you a fixed quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Aston can be planned properly.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Aston, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Aston rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What you get with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- Photo reports with every job
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- In business since 2009

What we are called out for in Aston
A fan in Aston builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A motor area thick with grease
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Aston, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
