Extract fan cleaning in Compton
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you’ll get a fixed price, typically within one working day. The work covers discharge points, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans, and people most often call us about an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and an extract fan with no cleaning record.
In a village or hamlet like Compton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
When to call us in Compton
How fast a fan gets greasy in Compton depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary and St Nicholas or anywhere around Compton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Compton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Compton
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Compton?
In Compton, it’s West Berkshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you work in Compton outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Compton can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
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.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s 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.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, because it unbalances the fan. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
