In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
About our extract fan cleaning in Chicheley
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you are dealing with hot, greasy smells near the fan and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Chicheley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Chicheley
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
Want a quote for extract fan cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site. We will talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Chicheley
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. For a village or hamlet like Chicheley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear loose items from the work area
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What we are called out for in Chicheley
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Lawrence or anywhere around Chicheley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Chicheley
Can the work in Chicheley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Chicheley keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is Chicheley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
The fan follows the full system’s interval, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
