The work covers in-line fans, axial fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan with no cleaning record and thick grease on the impeller and casing.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Haddenham gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.

How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
What else we do in Haddenham
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
How the visit works
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. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Around Haddenham, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. Some fans need attention sooner.
What do you need from me for a quote?
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.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Haddenham
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Haddenham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
