Extract fan cleaning in Great Kimble, done properly
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you have fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and burning smells from the fan area, we can help.
In a small place like Great Kimble, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Grease, kitchens and Great Kimble
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Great Kimble. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Food hygiene inspections in Great Kimble are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Great Kimble is covered by 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.
Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Great Kimble, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you cook for passing trade around Little Kimble station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Great Kimble Church of England School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Great Kimble is about 5 miles south of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Great Kimble gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Great Kimble is one of 263 towns, villages and districts in Buckinghamshire we cover for commercial clients. For sites nearby, see our Oxford page, about 18 miles away.

Great Kimble: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Great Kimble?
In Great Kimble, it’s Buckinghamshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you work in Great Kimble outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Great Kimble doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We will confirm the time when we quote.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Great Kimble?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Planning a trip to Great Kimble ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. For a village or hamlet like Great Kimble, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- 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
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
