- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
What staff can safely do
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Farnham Royal
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers centrifugal fans, axial fans and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are grease around the motor and its mounts and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Farnham Royal
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Somewhere as small as Farnham Royal, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
Kitchen extracts in Farnham Royal
There are about 36 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 35 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Farnham Royal, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Fire safety in Farnham Royal falls to Royal Berkshire 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. Kitchens in Farnham Royal get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Mary's Farnham Royal CofE Primary School or anywhere near Farnham Royal, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Farnham Royal, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Questions from Farnham Royal
Can you get to a site in Farnham Royal?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work overnight in Farnham Royal?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Farnham Royal needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- A motor that has burnt out
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.

What we are called out for in Farnham Royal
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Grease stains around the discharge
A hospital like Wexham Park Hospital, about 1.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
