Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
About our extract fan cleaning in Chearsley
We’ve been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have grease stains around the discharge and a motor area thick with grease, we can help, from discharge points, centrifugal fans and axial fans onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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.

Chearsley questions
Do you work in villages like Chearsley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Chearsley?
Kitchens in Chearsley are inspected by Buckinghamshire 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.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Chearsley, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Planning a trip to Chearsley ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Chearsley
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Chearsley. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Chearsley sits within the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Chearsley get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Waddesdon Manor, about 3.7 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Chearsley; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Thame Community Hospital about 3.2 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Chearsley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Chearsley is about 3 miles north of Thame, in Buckinghamshire. Sites in Chearsley get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Chearsley.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
