Do you need extract fan cleaning in Cox Green?
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wessex Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Extract fan cleaning in Cox Green
In Cox Green, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and discharge points, and people most often call us about an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and grease around the motor and its mounts.
In a smaller place like Cox Green, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
Cox Green kitchens: local notes
Look up Cox Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 89 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 26 sandwich bars and takeaways in Cox Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Fire safety in Cox Green falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cox Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hospital like St Mark's Hospital, about 1.2 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Where a hall near All Saints' Church, or anywhere in Cox Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Cox Green questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Cox Green?
The local authority for Cox Green is Windsor and Maidenhead council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you come to Cox Green after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Cox Green keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Cox Green?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.

Why deal with it now?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. A site near Cox Green that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. In a place like Cox Green, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
How we price extract fan cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
