Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Never cook with a filter missing
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.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Garsington
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. If you’re dealing with grease around the motor and its mounts and burning smells from the fan area, we can help, from centrifugal fans, in-line fans and fan housings onwards.
Work in a small place like Garsington starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Extract fan cleaning around Garsington
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Garsington, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Garsington, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Garsington is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Garsington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as NHS Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (about 1.9 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like Garsington Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Part by part
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for most single fans, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like Garsington, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Garsington
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Questions from Garsington
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Garsington in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Garsington, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which fire service covers Garsington?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Garsington. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Garsington?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
Is Garsington in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Garsington included.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A motor that has burnt out
- Damaged fan blades
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
