How we handle extract fan cleaning in Cippenham
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. If you’re dealing with a noisy fan that has got louder over time and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can help, from in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans onwards.
In a smaller place like Cippenham, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Tell us when your site near Cippenham is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Why act early in Cippenham
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Cippenham?
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
If you cook for passing trade around Burnham station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours

Questions from Cippenham
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Cippenham in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 16 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Cippenham, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Cippenham?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Cippenham. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Do you work in Cippenham?
Yes. Our technicians work in Cippenham, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.

Kitchen extracts in Cippenham
There are about 79 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 53 sandwich bars and takeaways in Cippenham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. The fire and rescue service for Cippenham is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Slough council inspect food businesses in Cippenham. 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.
For schools such as Cippenham Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Upton Hospital (about 2.1 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that will not start
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
