Extract fan cleaning in Dane Hill
We’ve been trading since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers fan housings, discharge points and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are grease stains around the discharge and an extract fan with no cleaning record.
Somewhere as small as Dane Hill, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What we are called out for in Dane Hill
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Dane Hill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Dane Hill questions
Can you get to a site in Dane Hill?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Dane Hill included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which environmental health team covers Dane Hill?
The local authority for Dane Hill is Cherwell council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dane Hill
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for most single fans. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Dane Hill run smoothly.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Dane Hill
Look up Dane Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Dane Hill. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Environmental health officers from Cherwell council inspect food businesses in Dane Hill. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Dane Hill falls to Oxfordshire 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.
Whether the kitchen is in Dane Hill itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
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.
