Extract Fan Cleaning in Coscote
Our technicians work in Coscote on extract fan cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
Why it’s worth doing now in Coscote
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Extract fan cleaning in Coscote
We’ve been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Typical jobs include vibration from an unbalanced impeller and weak extraction at the canopy, on in-line fans, fan housings and axial fans.
Work in a small place like Coscote starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. In a small place like Coscote, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Extract fan cleaning around Coscote
Look up Coscote on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 28 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 25 takeaways across Coscote and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. In Coscote, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Coscote falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hagbourne Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Coscote, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Abingdon Community Hospital (about 5.8 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Coscote
Which council inspects kitchens in Coscote?
Kitchens in Coscote are inspected by South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Coscote?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Coscote. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
How long is a fan clean?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Do you cover Coscote?
Yes. We cover Coscote and across Oxfordshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Coscote?
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Coscote, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
