Extract Fan Cleaning in Hedgerley
We cover Hedgerley for extract fan cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, 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 couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Hedgerley, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Related advice
Extract fan cleaning in Hedgerley, done properly
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. The work covers roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that has never been cleaned and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles.
In a small place like Hedgerley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, 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. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Hedgerley: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Hedgerley?
Kitchens in Hedgerley are inspected by Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Hedgerley in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Hedgerley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Hedgerley?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
When to call us in Hedgerley
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Wexham Park Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hedgerley, about 3 miles south-east.
Questions to ask before booking
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- An impeller that is bent or split
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Extract fan cleaning around Hedgerley
The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hedgerley. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Hedgerley are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Hedgerley is Royal Berkshire 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Hedgerley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
