Extract fan cleaning in Easthampstead
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. We are often asked to deal with grease stains around the discharge and an extract fan with no cleaning record, on axial fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Easthampstead gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Common questions in Easthampstead
Which council inspects kitchens in Easthampstead?
Kitchens in Easthampstead are inspected by Bracknell Forest council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can school kitchens in Easthampstead be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 13 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Easthampstead. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
The fan follows the full system’s interval, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
How long is a fan clean?
It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Your quote will give an idea.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A clean will not mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.

Common problems we fix in Easthampstead
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
If you run a café or takeaway near Bracknell station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Extract fan cleaning around Easthampstead
Food Standards Agency data counts about 78 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 29 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Easthampstead. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Easthampstead is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Easthampstead get their food hygiene inspections from Bracknell Forest council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church or anywhere around Easthampstead, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Pinewood Hospital about 2.1 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. For a place like Easthampstead, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
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. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
