Extract fan cleaning in Fyfield
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers fan housings, centrifugal fans and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are burning smells from the fan area and a fan that no longer moves enough air.
Somewhere as small as Fyfield, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Fyfield.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
Fyfield kitchens: local notes
Look up Fyfield on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Fyfield. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Fire safety in Fyfield 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. Food hygiene inspections in Fyfield are the job of Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Abingdon Community Hospital (about 4 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For schools such as Abingdon Preparatory School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Historic houses near Fyfield, such as Appleton Manor about 2.2 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why it’s worth doing now in Fyfield
A fan that sounds rough in Fyfield is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Fyfield rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep records of every fan clean
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.

What else we do in Fyfield
What a clean won’t put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Questions from Fyfield
Can the work in Fyfield be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Fyfield can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Fyfield?
In Fyfield, it’s Vale of White Horse council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
