Extract fan cleaning in Forty Green
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. 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 Forty Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When to call us in Forty Green
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A motor area thick with grease
For schools such as Holtspur School & Pre-School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a survey comes first
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for most single fans. For a village or hamlet like Forty Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
Forty Green: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Forty Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Forty Green is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Forty Green?
That’s Buckinghamshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Forty Green. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How long is a fan clean?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
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 the site can carry on as normal.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Forty Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 11 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Forty Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Forty Green falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Forty Green are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Forty Green is Hospital of St John the Baptist, about 3.5 miles west. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Forty Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Why it’s worth doing now in Forty Green
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Forty Green
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
If you need extract fan cleaning in Forty Green, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep access to the fan clear
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
