About our extract fan cleaning in Aston Upthorpe
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you’re dealing with vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, we can help, from roof-mounted fans, axial fans and discharge points onwards.
In a small place like Aston Upthorpe, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For extract fan cleaning in Aston Upthorpe, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Common questions in Aston Upthorpe
Which fire authority looks after Aston Upthorpe?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Aston Upthorpe. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work at weekends in Aston Upthorpe?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Aston Upthorpe does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
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.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What happens if it’s left?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. A planned visit to Aston Upthorpe is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Aston Upthorpe
The fire and rescue service for Aston Upthorpe is 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 you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Brightwell Manor is about 3 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What we’re called out for in Aston Upthorpe
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Grease stains around the discharge
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Michael or elsewhere in Aston Upthorpe, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

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.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
