We’ve been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Common call-outs are for a fan shaking on its mounts and rough running from the extract fan, on axial fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
Somewhere as small as Dadford, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

Grease, kitchens and Dadford
Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Dadford. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. At about 55 miles from central London, Dadford sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stowe House is about 0.8 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Dadford is Buckingham Community Hospital, about 3.2 miles south-east. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Dadford, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Dadford is about 4 miles north-west of Buckingham, in Buckinghamshire. Wherever you are in the MK18 postcode area, we can carry out extract fan cleaning at your premises.

What affects the quote in Dadford
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us 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. We typically come back within one working day.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Visits to a village like Dadford are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

What happens if it’s left?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Dadford rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Dadford questions
Which fire service covers Dadford?
Dadford is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Dadford out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Dadford, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
What types of premises do you cover?
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.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it cannot run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Do you cover Dadford?
Yes. We work in Dadford and across Buckinghamshire, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Report grease escaping from the fan
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
