Extract fan cleaning in Bowsey Hill: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs and bars in and around Bowsey Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Bowsey Hill is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Bowsey Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Wokingham council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For schools such as Crazies Hill CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Historic houses near Bowsey Hill, such as Harleyford Manor about 3.3 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Bowsey Hill questions
Can a school canteen extract in Bowsey Hill be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Bowsey Hill, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bowsey Hill?
Bowsey Hill 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.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after photos go into a report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Common problems we fix in Bowsey Hill
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A motor area thick with grease
A hospital like St Mark's Hospital, about 4.2 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What paperwork you get at the end
Honest limits
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere as small as Bowsey Hill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
