About our extract fan cleaning in Granborough
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that’s what we clean. Common call-outs are for an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and grease around the motor and its mounts, on discharge points, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
For a kitchen in or near Granborough, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Common problems we fix in Granborough
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Rough running from the extract fan
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Claydon House is about 2.9 miles west), access may need planning.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for most single fans. For a village or hamlet like Granborough, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Grease, kitchens and Granborough
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 takeaways across Granborough and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Fire safety in Granborough falls to Buckinghamshire 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. Kitchens in Granborough get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Sir Thomas Fremantle School or anywhere near Granborough, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Granborough, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Granborough questions
Who inspects food businesses in Granborough?
That’s Buckinghamshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Granborough. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Granborough?
Fire safety enforcement in Granborough is handled by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
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.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
