About our extract fan cleaning in Eton
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. Common call-outs are for rough running from the extract fan and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, on axial fans, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans.
For a kitchen in or near Eton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- File the fan’s report with your other records
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the route to the fan clear. 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.
What affects the quote in Eton
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it can’t be reached fully, the report says so.
Kitchen extracts in Eton
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 38 pubs and bars and about 15 hotels and guest houses across Eton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Eton is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council inspect food businesses in Eton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you cook for passing trade around Windsor & Eton Riverside station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Where a hall near Church of Saint John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Eton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Upton Hospital is the nearest hospital to Eton, about 1.1 miles north-east.
Eton is about 1 mile north-east of Windsor, in Windsor and Maidenhead. Wherever you are in the SL4 postcode area, we can take on extract fan cleaning. Eton is one of 57 places in Windsor and Maidenhead where we work for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Reading, about 16 miles away.

Eton questions
Which fire authority looks after Eton?
Fire safety enforcement in Eton is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you cover smaller places like Eton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Eton, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A fan that will not start
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
Why it’s worth doing now in Eton
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Planning a trip to Eton ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. 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, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
