Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Eynsham
Not all extract fans are the same: 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 axial fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan shaking on its mounts and grease escaping from the fan outlet.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Eynsham gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
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, and we are fully insured.

Eynsham questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Eynsham?
The local authority for Eynsham is West Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can school kitchens in Eynsham be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Eynsham, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Eynsham?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
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.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan normally means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Extract fan cleaning around Eynsham
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 9 pubs and bars in and around Eynsham, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Eynsham are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Eynsham is Oxfordshire 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Blenheim Palace is about 4.1 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Where a hall near Church of St Leonard, or anywhere in Eynsham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

When to call us in Eynsham
How fast a fan gets greasy in Eynsham depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bartholomew School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Why it’s worth doing now in Eynsham
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Why book with us
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- We’re fully insured
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Report rattles or humming early
- Make sure the fan is included each time
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 whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What the work covers
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and we clear up before we go. Around Eynsham, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
