Great Rollright kitchens: local notes
Fire safety in Great Rollright falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Great Rollright are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Chastleton House is about 4.9 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Great Rollright Church of England (Aided) Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

About our extract fan cleaning in Great Rollright
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that’s what we clean. If you have a fan that no longer moves enough air and rough running from the extract fan, we can help, from discharge points, roof-mounted fans and fan housings onwards.
In a small place like Great Rollright, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, and 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.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Great Rollright.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Great Rollright questions
Do you cover smaller places like Great Rollright?
Yes. Great Rollright is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Great Rollright?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Great Rollright does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Before and after pictures go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
The fan follows the full system’s interval, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
How long is a fan clean?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.

How we price extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep access to the fan clear
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
When to call us in Great Rollright
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Grease stains around the discharge
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Great Rollright, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
