Kitchen extracts in Denton
Kitchens in Denton get their food hygiene inspections from South Oxfordshire council. 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. The fire and rescue service for Denton is 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Denton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Garsington Manor is about 0.9 miles south-west), access may need planning.

Extract fan cleaning in Denton
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. The work covers in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are grease around the motor and its mounts and a fan shaking on its mounts.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- Wiring faults to the fan
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Common problems we fix in Denton
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
School kitchens, at schools like Garsington Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Denton.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- 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
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Denton
Will you come out to Denton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Denton included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Denton?
Kitchens in Denton are inspected by South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site does not lose a service.
