Do you need extract fan cleaning in Dunsden Green?
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Where a hall near All Saints Church, or anywhere in Dunsden Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Dunsden Green: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Dunsden Green?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Dunsden Green. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work in villages like Dunsden Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Dunsden Green is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re 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.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Dunsden Green.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Dunsden Green
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
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. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Report rattles or humming early
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
