Kitchen extracts in Clanfield
Look up Clanfield on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Clanfield and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Kitchens in Clanfield get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Clanfield sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Clanfield CofE Primary School or anywhere near Clanfield, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Stephen, or anywhere in Clanfield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Clanfield
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. If you’re dealing with a heavily greased fan housing and burning smells from the fan area, we can help, from centrifugal fans, in-line fans and fan housings onwards.
In a small place like Clanfield, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Clanfield knowing what to expect.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Related advice
Clanfield: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Clanfield?
Yes, Clanfield is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Clanfield in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Clanfield, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Every clean has a photo report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. If the system at a site near Clanfield fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

When to call us in Clanfield
A greasy fan in Clanfield is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
Look out for any of the following:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A motor area thick with grease
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Longworth Hospital is the nearest hospital to Clanfield, about 3.8 miles south.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
