About our extract fan cleaning in Boveney
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. Common call-outs are for a fan left out of previous cleans and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, across fan housings, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
Work in a small place like Boveney 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A fan that will not start
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Boveney
Who is the fire and rescue service for Boveney?
Boveney is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Boveney?
Food hygiene inspections in Boveney are carried out by Windsor and Maidenhead council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What we’re called out for in Boveney
A fan in Boveney 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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan left out of previous cleans
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary Magdalene's Church or elsewhere in Boveney, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Proof of insurance
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Boveney
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Boveney
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Boveney and across Windsor and Maidenhead. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Boveney.
- 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.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Boveney
Food Standards Agency data counts about 41 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 13 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Boveney, up to about a mile and a half out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Boveney sits within the area of 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. Food hygiene inspections in Boveney are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
School kitchens, at schools like Homer First School and Nursery for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Boveney (Dorney Court is about 1.2 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.

What happens if it’s left?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. A fault that closes a site in a village like Boveney affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
