Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Extract fan cleaning in Fleet Marston
We have been trading since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. The work covers discharge points, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans, and people most often call us about a fan that has never been cleaned and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles.
Somewhere as small as Fleet Marston, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos 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.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
When to call us in Fleet Marston
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan that has never been cleaned
If you run a café or takeaway near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Common questions in Fleet Marston
Who inspects food businesses in Fleet Marston?
That is Buckinghamshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Fleet Marston. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can school kitchens in Fleet Marston be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Fleet Marston, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
An unbalanced impeller, usually from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Which sectors do you work in?
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.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- In-line fans
- Discharge points

- Roof-mounted fans
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere as small as Fleet Marston, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
Fleet Marston kitchens: local notes
Look up Fleet Marston on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 11 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 10 takeaways across Fleet Marston and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Fleet Marston. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Fleet Marston are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Green Ridge Primary Academy for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Fleet Marston, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fleet Marston
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Fleet Marston rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
