Extract Fan Cleaning in Clifton Hampden
Extract fan cleaning across Clifton Hampden and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A motor area thick with grease
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Extract fan cleaning in Clifton Hampden, done properly
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. We are often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, across centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings.
For a kitchen in or near Clifton Hampden, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
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.

When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Clifton Hampden and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear the space around the work

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
What happens if it’s left?
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. It’s simpler to plan the work at Clifton Hampden now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Why book with us

- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

What we’re called out for in Clifton Hampden
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
What we are most often called out for:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or anywhere around Clifton Hampden, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether VAT is included
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
When we’ve 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.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Grease, kitchens and Clifton Hampden
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Clifton Hampden. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Clifton Hampden. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Clifton Hampden. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

Clifton Hampden questions
Will you come out to Clifton Hampden?
Yes, Clifton Hampden is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Clifton Hampden after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Clifton Hampden keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
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.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
