Bledington extract fan cleaning
Our technicians work in Bledington on cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. If the system at a site near Bledington fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.

Extract fan cleaning in Bledington
In Bledington, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers in-line fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a fan that has never been cleaned.
For a kitchen in or near Bledington, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Bledington
How fast a fan gets greasy in Bledington depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Burning smells from the fan area
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Moore Cottage Hospital about 4.9 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Kitchen extracts in Bledington
In Bledington, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Bledington. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Leonard, or anywhere in Bledington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bledington Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Questions from Bledington
Do you work at weekends in Bledington?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Bledington does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bledington?
Food hygiene inspections in Bledington are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you cover Bledington?
Yes. We work in Bledington and the rest of Oxfordshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Check filters are seated before cooking
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. The timing of a visit to Bledington is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
