About our extract fan cleaning in Cryers Hill
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. We are often asked to deal with fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and an extract fan with no cleaning record, across fan housings, in-line fans and axial fans.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Never cook with a filter missing
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. 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.
Cryers Hill questions
Which fire service covers Cryers Hill?
Cryers Hill is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which council inspects kitchens in Cryers Hill?
The local authority for Cryers Hill is Buckinghamshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
How long is a fan clean?
Allow an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Your quote will give an idea.
Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Grease, kitchens and Cryers Hill
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Cryers Hill. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Cryers Hill is covered by Buckinghamshire 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. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cryers Hill. 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hughenden Manor is about 1.3 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Good Shepherd, or anywhere in Cryers Hill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Cryers Hill is Hospital of St John the Baptist, about 2.5 miles south.

Local landmarks in Cryers Hill
Around Cryers Hill, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Sir William Ramsay School, Pipers Corner School and The White Lion pub.

Why deal with it now?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Cryers Hill is calmer for everyone.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Cryers Hill.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Managing agents and facilities teams in Cryers Hill
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
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.
