Extract fan cleaning in Bishop's Green
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you are dealing with rough running from the extract fan and a heavily greased fan housing, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Bishop's Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Questions from Bishop's Green
Can you come to Bishop's Green after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Bishop's Green can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which environmental health team covers Bishop's Green?
The local authority for Bishop's Green is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Extract fan cleaning in Bishop's Green: the local picture
About 52 miles out from central London, Bishop's Green is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. The fire and rescue service for Bishop's Green is Royal Berkshire 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like West Berkshire Community Hospital about 2.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Cheam School or anywhere near Bishop's Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

When to call us in Bishop's Green
A greasy fan in Bishop's Green is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Bishop's Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether VAT is included
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. With notice, the visit to Bishop's Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Bishop's Green.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not 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 else we do in Bishop's Green
Part by part
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
