Bagnor questions
Will you come out to Bagnor?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire authority looks after Bagnor?
Bagnor is in the area of Royal Berkshire 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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will plan the visit around them.
How long is a fan clean?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
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.
Extract fan cleaning in Bagnor
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. Common call-outs are for rough running from the extract fan and a heavily greased fan housing, on discharge points, fan housings and axial fans.
In a village or hamlet like Bagnor, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What happens on the day
We turn up 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 before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Bagnor knowing what to expect.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Planning a trip to Bagnor ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Bagnor
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Robert Sandilands Primary School and Nursery, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An impeller that’s bent or split
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- 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
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Grease, kitchens and Bagnor
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 24 pubs, bars and clubs and about 6 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Bagnor. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s West Berkshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bagnor. 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. The fire and rescue service for Bagnor is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as West Berkshire Community Hospital (about 2.5 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Benham Park is about 0.8 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
