Extract fan cleaning in Clayhill, Buckinghamshire
For extract fan cleaning in Clayhill, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Weak extraction at the canopy
When to call us in Clayhill
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A motor area thick with grease
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan left out of previous cleans
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (West Wycombe Park House is about 2.3 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

About our extract fan cleaning in Clayhill
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you have a smell of hot grease from the extract and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can put it right, from in-line fans, axial fans and centrifugal fans onwards.
Somewhere as small as Clayhill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What else we do in Clayhill
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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, alongside our reports.
Clayhill: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Clayhill be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Clayhill. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Clayhill?
Food hygiene inspections in Clayhill are carried out by Buckinghamshire council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. The timing of a visit to Clayhill is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

How we price extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
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 will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Why deal with it now?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Extract fan cleaning in Clayhill: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 18 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 9 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Clayhill. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Food hygiene inspections in Clayhill are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Clayhill sits within the area of Buckinghamshire 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of Christ the Servant King or anywhere around Clayhill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Wycombe Hospital about 2.3 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
