What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Extract fan cleaning in Enborne
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Typical jobs include rough running from the extract fan and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, across discharge points, in-line fans and fan housings.
In a village or hamlet like Enborne, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Enborne
It’s West Berkshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Enborne. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Enborne falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
School kitchens, at schools like Enborne C.E. Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hospital like West Berkshire Community Hospital, about 3.7 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Benham Park, about 1.2 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Enborne; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Questions from Enborne
Do you work overnight in Enborne?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Enborne?
Yes, Enborne is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
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.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Berkshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged fan blades
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. For a village or hamlet like Enborne, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep access to the fan clear
You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Enborne
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
