What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
If you need extract fan cleaning in Burghclere, call 0345 646 2711 or email us. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Burghclere
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers in-line fans, discharge points and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan shaking on its mounts and grease escaping from the fan outlet.
For a kitchen in or near Burghclere, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Burghclere?
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Burghclere as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Highclere Castle is about 1.9 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Burghclere
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Burghclere, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Burghclere. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Burghclere. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Ascension or elsewhere in Burghclere, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like West Berkshire Community Hospital about 4.4 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Burghclere is about 4 miles south of Newbury, in West Berkshire.

Why it’s worth doing now in Burghclere
For a kitchen in Burghclere, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. Somewhere as small as Burghclere, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Questions from Burghclere
Who inspects food businesses in Burghclere?
Kitchens in Burghclere are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can a school canteen extract in Burghclere be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Burghclere, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Do you cover Burghclere?
Yes. Burghclere is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Burghclere before we set off.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
