Extract fan cleaning near Chaddleworth

What your team can do, and what needs us

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

Extract fan cleaning in Chaddleworth, done properly

If the extract fan in Chaddleworth has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you will get a fixed price, usually within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with a heavily greased fan housing and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, across in-line fans, fan housings and discharge points.

Work in a small place like Chaddleworth starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

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. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix

  • A fan that will not start
  • Damaged fan blades

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.

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.

What we do, step by step

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 photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two for most single fans. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Chaddleworth and turn up when the site is quiet.

  1. We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
  2. We isolate the power before opening the housing.
  3. Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
  4. The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
  5. We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Clear the space around the work
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Get a fixed quote

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Chaddleworth

The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:

  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • Travel, parking and unloading

Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Helping us quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:

  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Common questions in Chaddleworth

Which environmental health team covers Chaddleworth?

That is West Berkshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Chaddleworth. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.

Can you work in Chaddleworth outside opening hours?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Chaddleworth can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

What if the fan needs more than a clean?

Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.

Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?

The fan must be isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.

Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?

Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.

What happens if you can’t reach some of it?

We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

Who has the legal duty for fire safety?

It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.

Different parts, different methods

Roof-mounted fans

Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.

Fan housings and motors

The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.

Looking after it afterwards

How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep records of every fan clean
  • Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
  • Do not turn the fan off mid-service
  • Book the fan into every full TR19 clean

Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.

Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
