Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Church Hanborough
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you have a fan shaking on its mounts and burning smells from the fan area, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Church Hanborough, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

FAQs for Church Hanborough
Do you work at weekends in Church Hanborough?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Church Hanborough?
Yes. Church Hanborough is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Church Hanborough?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Church Hanborough.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. In a place like Church Hanborough, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Church Hanborough kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars in Church Hanborough and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Church Hanborough, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Church Hanborough sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Church Hanborough, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Hanborough Manor CofE School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Church Hanborough
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- 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
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Report rattles or humming early
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Make sure the fan is reachable. 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.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- A fan that won’t start
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common problems we fix in Church Hanborough
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan left out of previous cleans
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Church Hanborough (Blenheim Palace is about 2 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
