Managing agents and facilities teams in East Hagbourne
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in East Hagbourne
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. 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 fan housings, axial fans and in-line fans, and people most often call us about a fan that has never been cleaned and hot, greasy smells near the fan.
In a village or hamlet like East Hagbourne, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in East Hagbourne
A fan that sounds rough in East Hagbourne is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. It’s simpler to plan the work at East Hagbourne now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Can school kitchens in East Hagbourne be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of East Hagbourne. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in East Hagbourne
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Where a hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in East Hagbourne, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Run the extract throughout cooking
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. 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. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to East Hagbourne can be planned properly.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
