Grease, kitchens and Fawler
Fawler is covered by Oxfordshire 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 West Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Fawler. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For kitchens close to Finstock station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Blenheim Palace is about 4.4 miles east), access may need planning.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Fawler
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. If you are dealing with a fan coated in grease inside its housing and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, we can help.
In a small place like Fawler, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What else we do in Fawler
Why act early in Fawler
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. With notice, the visit to Fawler can be fitted around your bookings and events.
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 unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. In a small place like Fawler, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Fawler: your questions answered
Can you come to Fawler after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Fawler?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Fawler is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How long is a fan clean?
It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Your quote will give an idea.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
An unbalanced impeller, usually from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Never cook with a filter missing
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Fawler
A greasy fan in Fawler is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Finstock Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Fawler, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
