Extract fan cleaning in Gawcott
We’ve been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. Typical jobs include a motor area thick with grease and rough running from the extract fan, across roof-mounted fans, fan housings and in-line fans.
Work in a small place like Gawcott starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we are called out for in Gawcott
How fast a fan gets greasy in Gawcott depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Gawcott, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

FAQs for Gawcott
Who is the fire and rescue service for Gawcott?
Gawcott is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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 you clean school canteen extracts around Gawcott out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Gawcott. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Grease, kitchens and Gawcott
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Gawcott. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Gawcott. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Gawcott, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For schools such as Roundwood Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Buckingham Community Hospital, about 1.8 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Leave a clear route to the fan
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, 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 one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Gawcott knowing what to expect.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Why it’s worth doing now in Gawcott
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. It’s simpler to plan the work at Gawcott now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and it collects grease unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
