How we handle extract fan cleaning in Fawley Bottom
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. If you have a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan left out of previous cleans, we can put it right, from roof-mounted fans, discharge points and fan housings onwards.
Work in a small place like Fawley Bottom starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

Common questions in Fawley Bottom
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Fawley Bottom?
Fawley Bottom is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you work in Fawley Bottom outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Fawley Bottom keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Leave a clear route to the fan
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In a small place like Fawley Bottom, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Extract fan cleaning in Fawley Bottom: the local picture
At about 36 miles from central London, Fawley Bottom sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Fire safety in Fawley Bottom falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stonor Park is about 1.5 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary the Virgin's Church, or anywhere in Fawley Bottom, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
