Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Curbridge
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. The work covers fan housings, in-line fans and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are grease stains around the discharge and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles.
In a small place like Curbridge, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Curbridge questions
Can you get to a site in Curbridge?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Curbridge is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Curbridge?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Curbridge. 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 survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
How we price extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Part by part
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. That is what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere like Curbridge, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
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. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

What a clean will not put right
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that will not start
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Curbridge
A fan in Curbridge builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
Where a hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Curbridge, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Curbridge kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Curbridge. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Curbridge are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Curbridge sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
For schools such as Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Minster Lovell Hall is about 1.8 miles north), access may need planning.
Curbridge is about 2 miles south-west of Witney, in Oxfordshire. From the centre of Curbridge to the outskirts, extract fan cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. Our Oxfordshire coverage runs to 443 places, Curbridge among them. There’s also a page for Oxford, roughly 12 miles from Curbridge.
Our technicians cover all of the OX29 postcode area for extract fan cleaning and the roads nearby. If you need extract fan cleaning at premises on Well Lane, Main Road and Dovecote Place or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. Nearby, we also carry out extract fan cleaning in Minster Lovell (2 miles north-west), Brize Norton (2 miles west), Carterton (3 miles west), Bampton (3 miles south) and Aston (3 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Oxford (12 miles east), Abingdon-on-Thames (12 miles south-east), Wantage (13 miles south), Grove (12 miles south), Faringdon (9 miles south) and Kidlington (11 miles east).
What’s near Curbridge
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Henry Box School and Lord Kitchener pub. Nearby you’ll also find Bampton Castle (3.7 miles south) and Cogges Manor Farm Museum (2 miles east).
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
