Extract fan cleaning in Beacon's Bottom
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. The work covers roof-mounted fans, discharge points and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a heavily greased fan housing and a fan shaking on its mounts.
In a village or hamlet like Beacon's Bottom, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What affects the quote in Beacon's Bottom
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.

What else we do in Beacon's Bottom
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. If the system at a site near Beacon's Bottom fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Somewhere like Beacon's Bottom, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
