About our extract fan cleaning in Hardwick
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. If you’re dealing with a heavily greased fan housing and a fan left out of previous cleans, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form 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. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Extract fan cleaning around Hardwick
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hardwick. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Hardwick. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hardwick sits within the area of Buckinghamshire 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Old School Room Chapel, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hardwick is Tindal Centre, about 3.1 miles south.

When it’s something else
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A motor that has burnt out
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork

Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points

Why act early in Hardwick
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Hardwick is calmer for everyone.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Hardwick is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

What we are called out for in Hardwick
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. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Hardwick, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a survey comes first
Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Questions from Hardwick
Can the work in Hardwick be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Hardwick needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you work in villages like Hardwick?
Yes, Hardwick is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
