Farley Wood extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning across Farley Wood and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with photos.

- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Farley Wood
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. We are often asked to deal with less air being pulled from the kitchen and a heavily greased fan housing, across fan housings, axial fans and centrifugal fans.
In a smaller place like Farley Wood, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Extract fan cleaning in Farley Wood: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 9 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Farley Wood. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Farley Wood is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Farley Wood are the job of Bracknell Forest 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 photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For schools such as Meadow Vale Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Pinewood Hospital, about 2.4 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Report rattles or humming early
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. For a site near Farley Wood, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- 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.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What you get with us
- Photo reports with every job
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- We diagnose before we treat
- We’re fully insured

What we’re called out for in Farley Wood
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mark, or anywhere in Farley Wood, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded

Farley Wood questions
Which fire service covers Farley Wood?
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Farley Wood. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work in villages like Farley Wood?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Farley Wood is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How much notice should we give?
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.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Farley Wood?
We do not 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 we start.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Multi-site and managed buildings
