Hedsor kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 15 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses across Hedsor and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Hedsor. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hedsor. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Cliveden, about 1.1 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Hedsor; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Marlow Community Hospital about 3.6 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Extract fan cleaning in Hedsor, done properly
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Hedsor, normally within one working day. If you are dealing with a fan that has never been cleaned and rough running from the extract fan, we can put it right, from fan housings, discharge points and centrifugal fans onwards.
In a small place like Hedsor, 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.
The report is your 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.

Common questions in Hedsor
Can the work in Hedsor be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hedsor?
It’s Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Hedsor. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A clean will not mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Buckinghamshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. The timing of a visit to Hedsor is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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 to call us in Hedsor
Grease condenses as the air cools, 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.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A heavily greased fan housing
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Cores End United Reformed Church or elsewhere in Hedsor, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before you book anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What insurance they carry
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep access to the fan clear
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
