How we handle extract fan cleaning in Eton Wick
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. Typical jobs include an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, on centrifugal fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans.
In a small place like Eton Wick, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
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.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A fan that won’t start
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Eton Wick
The FSA’s data shows about 15 pubs and bars and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in and around Eton Wick, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Eton Wick are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Eton Wick sits within the area of 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like King Edward VII Hospital about 1.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Eton Wick CofE First School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Eton Wick?
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Where a hall near Church of Saint John the Baptist, or anywhere in Eton Wick, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Questions from Eton Wick
Do you work at weekends in Eton Wick?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Eton Wick does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can a school canteen extract in Eton Wick be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 42 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Eton Wick. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How long is a fan clean?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere as small as Eton Wick, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Why it’s worth doing now in Eton Wick
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
