Managing agents and facilities teams in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Milton Keynes. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What happens if it’s left?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Nothing in a duct, damper or fan improves by being left.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Report grease escaping from the fan
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
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.
How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In Bletchley and Fenny Stratford, the visit is planned around your opening hours, parking and access to the system.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
When to call us in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
For schools such as Knowles Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
