How we handle extract fan cleaning in Farnham Common
In Farnham Common, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. Typical jobs include rough running from the extract fan and less air being pulled from the kitchen, across roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
Work in a small place like Farnham Common starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Leave it or put it right?
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. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Somewhere as small as Farnham Common, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

Farnham Common kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 16 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Farnham Common. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Farnham Common. 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. Farnham Common sits within the area of 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.
Historic houses near Farnham Common, such as Cliveden about 3.3 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hospital like Wexham Park Hospital, about 2.4 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Where a hall near St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Farnham Common, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Need a price for extract fan cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere like Farnham Common, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
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.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
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.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.

Farnham Common: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Farnham Common?
That’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Will you come out to Farnham Common?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Farnham Common included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
A common cause is grease. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
