What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
About our extract fan cleaning in Forest Park
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers centrifugal fans, in-line fans and axial fans, and the jobs we see most are a noisy fan that has got louder over time and grease stains around the discharge.
Around a smaller place like Forest Park, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

When to call us in Forest Park
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Harmans Water Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before you book anyone

- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a survey comes first
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Forest Park when you book.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
Forest Park kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Forest Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Forest Park is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Bracknell Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Forest Park. 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.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Forest Park is Heatherwood Hospital, about 1.8 miles east. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Paul, or anywhere in Forest Park, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Questions from Forest Park
Do you work in villages like Forest Park?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Forest Park?
Kitchens in Forest Park are inspected by Bracknell Forest council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
How long is a fan clean?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Report rattles or humming early
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
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 pictures.
