Extract fan cleaning in Gardeners Green, done properly
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan coated in grease inside its housing and grease stains around the discharge.
In a small place like Gardeners Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why it’s worth doing now in Gardeners Green
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. In a place like Gardeners Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Gardeners Green
Which environmental health team covers Gardeners Green?
In Gardeners Green, it’s Wokingham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Gardeners Green?
Gardeners Green is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
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.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What else we do in Gardeners Green
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep records of every fan clean
When we have 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.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Gardeners Green run smoothly.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Axial fans
- Fan housings

How we price extract fan cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Gardeners Green
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
