About our extract fan cleaning in Braywoodside
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. The work covers centrifugal fans, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are burning smells from the fan area and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
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.

How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a village like Braywoodside are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Braywoodside questions
Do you work at weekends in Braywoodside?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Braywoodside?
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Braywoodside. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
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, normally ready within one working day.
Do you cover Braywoodside?
Yes. Our technicians work in Braywoodside, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that will not start
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Part by part
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it can’t be reached fully, the report says so.
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
