One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Burnham
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers in-line fans, centrifugal fans and axial fans, and the jobs we see most are grease stains around the discharge and a fan coated in grease inside its housing.
In a smaller place like Burnham, 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. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for most single fans. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Burnham can normally be finished without a second trip.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Burnham questions

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Burnham needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Burnham
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The E-Act Burnham Park Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
