How we handle extract fan cleaning in Bedgrove
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers centrifugal fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about a fan that no longer moves enough air and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
Around a smaller place like Bedgrove, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What a clean won’t put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Wiring faults to the fan
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings

Common problems we fix in Bedgrove
A greasy fan in Bedgrove is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Rough running from the extract fan
School kitchens, at schools like Bedgrove Infant School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Bedgrove kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 91 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 48 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Bedgrove, up to about a mile and a half out. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Fire safety in Bedgrove falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Bedgrove. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Spirit, or anywhere in Bedgrove, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Stoke Mandeville Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bedgrove, about 0.9 miles south-west.

The process
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for most single fans. Around Bedgrove, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Common questions in Bedgrove
Can the work in Bedgrove be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can a school canteen extract in Bedgrove be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 21 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Bedgrove. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
