Extract fan cleaning in Great Western Park, done properly

We have been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. We’re often asked to deal with a fan that has never been cleaned and less air being pulled from the kitchen, across in-line fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans.

In a smaller place like Great Western Park, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.

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 are fully insured.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning

There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:

  • Parking and loading at the site
  • How big the system is
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • Site rules, permits and inductions

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What to send for a quote

What to send for a quote:

  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

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, next to our reports.

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Part by part

Wall fans

Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.

Kitchens with long cooking hours

Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.

Common questions in Great Western Park

Can the work in Great Western Park be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Great Western Park can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

Can you get to a site in Great Western Park?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?

Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.

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.

Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?

Every clean has a photo 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.

Does the law say we must follow TR19?

No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.

What should I send you?

Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.

How it works

Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s 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 a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Around Great Western Park, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.

  1. We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
  2. The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
  3. The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
  4. We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
  5. We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.

How to prepare

  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Tell us where we can park and unload

How to get a quote

Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Advice

For landlords and multi-site operators

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

When it’s something else

We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:

  • Wiring faults to the fan
  • A motor that has burnt out
  • Grease in the canopy and ductwork

If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

Where we work

  • Fan housings
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • In-line fans
  • Centrifugal fans
  • Discharge points
  • Axial fans

Extract fan cleaning in Great Western Park: the local picture

Food Standards Agency data counts about 31 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 27 takeaways in Great Western Park and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Great Western Park is covered by Oxfordshire 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. In Great Western Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

Why act early in Great Western Park

Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.

We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.
