Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Aston
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. 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 will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you have a fan coated in grease inside its housing and grease around the motor and its mounts, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Grease, kitchens and Aston
In Aston, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Aston. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Longworth Hospital is the nearest hospital to Aston, about 5.7 miles south-west. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St James or anywhere around Aston, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Aston and Cote Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Aston is about 4 miles south of Witney, in Oxfordshire.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Aston

For extract fan cleaning in Aston, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Part by part
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in Aston
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Aston.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
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.

FAQs for Aston
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Aston?
Fire safety enforcement in Aston is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can school kitchens in Aston be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Aston, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
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. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Why act early in Aston
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
