About our extract fan cleaning in East Hanney
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan left out of previous cleans and vibration from an unbalanced impeller.
Work in a small place like East Hanney starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Common questions in East Hanney
Who inspects food businesses in East Hanney?
Food hygiene inspections in East Hanney are carried out by Vale of White Horse council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you get to a site in East Hanney?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so you don’t have to close during trading.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in East Hanney
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan left out of previous cleans
A hospital like Abingdon Community Hospital, about 4.7 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A fan that won’t start
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to East Hanney and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Part by part
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
