About our extract fan cleaning in Cadmore End

Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. The work covers in-line fans, axial fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about burning smells from the fan area and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease.

Somewhere as small as Cadmore End, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Cadmore End questions

Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Cadmore End?

Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Cadmore End. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.

Can school kitchens in Cadmore End be cleaned in the holidays?

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Cadmore End. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.

Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?

A clean will not mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.

Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?

Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so you always know what was cleaned.

Which sectors do you work in?

Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.

What accreditations do you have?

CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

When to call us in Cadmore End

A fan in Cadmore End builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.

The symptoms we’re asked about most are:

  • A motor area thick with grease
  • Grease stains around the discharge
  • Weak extraction at the canopy
  • A noisy fan that has got louder over time

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary Le Moor or elsewhere in Cadmore End, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Questions to ask before you book

What affects the quote in Cadmore End

The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:

  • The number of sites or systems
  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • Parking and loading at the site

What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What to send for a quote

When you call or email, it’s useful to have:

  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Kitchen extracts in Cadmore End

Term dates shape school work: for a school like Cadmore End CofE School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What happens on the day

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Cadmore End.

  1. First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
  2. Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
  3. We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
  4. The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
  5. We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Clear loose items from the work area

Advice

Honest limits

Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:

  • An impeller that is bent or split
  • An undersized fan that cannot cope
  • Wiring faults to the fan

If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Cadmore End

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.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Cadmore End and across Buckinghamshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
