Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Clewer
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and in-line fans, and people most often call us about grease stains around the discharge and thick grease on the impeller and casing.
For a smaller kitchen near Clewer, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens if it’s left?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. In a smaller place like Clewer, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

- In business since 2009
- We diagnose before we treat

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We plan the journey to Clewer and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Common questions in Clewer
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Clewer during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 55 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Clewer, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you get to a site in Clewer?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
What affects the quote in Clewer
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Clewer
The FSA’s data shows about 34 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 13 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Clewer. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Clewer sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Clewer get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Edward's Catholic First School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Clewer is King Edward VII Hospital, about 1 mile south-east.

When to call us in Clewer
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, 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:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Clewer, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
