Extract fan cleaning in Blenheim
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. Typical jobs include a fan shaking on its mounts and a motor area thick with grease, across in-line fans, axial fans and centrifugal fans.
In a village or hamlet like Blenheim, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Blenheim
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Blenheim?
Fire safety enforcement in Blenheim is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which environmental health team covers Blenheim?
The local authority for Blenheim is South Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work in Blenheim?
Yes. We cover Blenheim and across Oxfordshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Blenheim can be planned properly.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Blenheim
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Extract fan cleaning around Blenheim
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Blenheim. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Blenheim are the job of South Oxfordshire 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 pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Blenheim is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Garsington Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Blenheim (Garsington Manor is about 0.5 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.

What’s near Blenheim
In Blenheim, that means kitchens and buildings near Red Lion pub, Wheatley Park School and Library Farmhouse, among other places.

Leave it or put it right?
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. A fault that closes a site in a village like Blenheim affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

When to call us in Blenheim
A fan in Blenheim builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like NHS Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group about 2.3 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
