Extract fan cleaning around Drayton St Leonard
We cover Drayton St Leonard, about 46 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Drayton St Leonard sits within the area of Oxfordshire 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Drayton St Leonard is Littlemore Hospital, about 5.3 miles north-west. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Drayton St Leonard (Clifton Hampden Manor is about 3.1 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Leonard or elsewhere in Drayton St Leonard, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Drayton St Leonard
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are grease around the motor and its mounts and a heavily greased fan housing.
For a kitchen in or near Drayton St Leonard, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
Leave it or put it right?
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. In a place like Drayton St Leonard, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

How we price extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Drayton St Leonard questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Drayton St Leonard?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Drayton St Leonard. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come to Drayton St Leonard after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Drayton St Leonard needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you cover Drayton St Leonard?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Drayton St Leonard.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. 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. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Drayton St Leonard.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
