Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Beenham Stocks, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Berkshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Beenham Stocks sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Beenham Stocks
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers centrifugal fans, fan housings and axial fans, and people most often call us about a fan coated in grease inside its housing and weak extraction at the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like Beenham Stocks, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that won’t start
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Beenham Stocks
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Rough running from the extract fan
For schools such as Beenham Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. For a village or hamlet like Beenham Stocks, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Beenham Stocks
Who is the fire and rescue service for Beenham Stocks?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Beenham Stocks. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you get to a site in Beenham Stocks?
Yes. Beenham Stocks is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Before and after photos go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Why act early in Beenham Stocks
A fan clean in Beenham Stocks doesn’t take long: it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. In a small place like Beenham Stocks, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
