How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Botolph Claydon.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Botolph Claydon: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Botolph Claydon be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Botolph Claydon. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Botolph Claydon?
That’s Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What affects the quote in Botolph Claydon
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Botolph Claydon
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
What we are called out for in Botolph Claydon
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Rough running from the extract fan
Bursars and site managers at schools such as East Claydon Church of England School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
