How we handle extract fan cleaning in Burghfield Common
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are vibration from an unbalanced impeller and hot, greasy smells near the fan.
In a smaller place like Burghfield Common, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. For a place like Burghfield Common, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- 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.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Burghfield Common than wait for a failure.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
