Extract fan cleaning in Grandpont
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. Common call-outs are for a fan left out of previous cleans and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, across in-line fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
Kitchens around a place like Grandpont are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Grandpont: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Grandpont?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Grandpont. 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 Grandpont out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 68 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Grandpont. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you cover Grandpont?
Yes. We work in Grandpont and across Oxfordshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What is 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 expects a risk-based approach.
When to call us in Grandpont
How fast a fan gets greasy in Grandpont 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.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Burning smells from the fan area
If you run a café or takeaway near Oxford station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, 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.

Why act early in Grandpont
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Grandpont.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Part by part
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Kitchen extracts in Grandpont
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 91 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 13 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Grandpont. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Grandpont is covered by Oxfordshire 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. Food hygiene inspections in Grandpont are the job of Oxford City council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Ebbe's Church of England Aided Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Matthew's, or anywhere in Grandpont, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
