Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in George Green
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. If you are dealing with grease stains around the discharge and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can help, from discharge points, centrifugal fans and in-line fans onwards.
Somewhere as small as George Green, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- File the fan’s report with your other records
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for George Green
Do you work in villages like George Green?
Yes, George Green is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you work in George Green outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in George Green keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
The process
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 one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in George Green before we set off.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
How we price extract fan cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

George Green kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of George Green. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in George Green are the job of Slough council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for George Green is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in George Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wexham Court Primary School or anywhere near George Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Wexham Park Hospital about 1.1 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. With notice, the visit to George Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
