Cassington: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Cassington?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Cassington included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Cassington?
Kitchens in Cassington are inspected by West Oxfordshire 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.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking is not affected.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Cassington
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that’s what we clean. The work covers discharge points, centrifugal fans and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a smell of hot grease from the extract and grease around the motor and its mounts.
In a small place like Cassington, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Honest limits
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that will not start
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. For a village or hamlet like Cassington, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot 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.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.

Other services in Cassington
Extract fan cleaning in Cassington: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Cassington, 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. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Cassington. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Cassington. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Cassington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Radcliffe Infirmary, about 4.1 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Peter's Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Cassington, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Near you in Cassington
Around Cassington, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Bartholomew School and Chequers Inn and the streets around them. The closest station to Cassington is Hanborough station, roughly 2.5 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Oxford Castle and earlier settlement remains (4.5 miles south-east) and Radcliffe Infirmary (4.1 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Hook Meadow and The Trap Grounds and Cumnor Hill.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. A fault that closes a site in a village like Cassington affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- In business 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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. 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 hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
