Begbroke extract fan cleaning
We cover Begbroke for extract fan cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan shaking on its mounts
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
About our extract fan cleaning in Begbroke
Not all extract fans are the same: 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 discharge points, axial fans and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are weak extraction at the canopy and a fan shaking on its mounts.
For a kitchen in or near Begbroke, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Questions from Begbroke
Can you work in Begbroke outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Begbroke keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Begbroke?
Fire safety enforcement in Begbroke is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Begbroke?
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A motor area thick with grease
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Blenheim Palace is about 2.2 miles north-west), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether they’re fully insured
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep access to the fan clear
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Extract fan cleaning in Begbroke: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in and around Begbroke, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Begbroke is Oxfordshire 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. Food hygiene inspections in Begbroke are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Where a hall near Church of St Philip, or anywhere in Begbroke, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as William Fletcher Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
