Extract fan cleaning in Aston Rowant, Oxfordshire
Extract fan cleaning for Aston Rowant, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Aston Rowant
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Common call-outs are for hot, greasy smells near the fan and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, on roof-mounted fans, axial fans and discharge points.
Somewhere as small as Aston Rowant, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Aston Rowant?
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
What we are most often called out for:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Aston Rowant Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed

Aston Rowant sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Aston Rowant (Adwell House is about 2 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.

Aston Rowant: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Aston Rowant?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work overnight in Aston Rowant?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Aston Rowant can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work in Aston Rowant?
Yes. Aston Rowant is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it cannot start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
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 where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
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.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What affects the quote in Aston Rowant
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Aston Rowant.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- Wiring faults to the fan
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
