Extract Fan Cleaning in Highmoor
Cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points for Highmoor, with a survey first and a report with photos at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
About our extract fan cleaning in Highmoor

Tell us about it when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Highmoor, usually within one working day. We are often asked to deal with burning smells from the fan area and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, on axial fans, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans.
Work in a small place like Highmoor starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A motor that has burnt out
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Other services in Highmoor
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What happens if it’s left?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. It’s simpler to plan the work at Highmoor now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Questions from Highmoor
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Highmoor?
That is South Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Highmoor. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire service covers Highmoor?
Highmoor is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
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.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Highmoor can be planned properly.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
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.
Extract fan cleaning in Highmoor: the local picture
At about 39 miles from central London, Highmoor sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Food hygiene inspections in Highmoor are the job of South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For schools such as Stoke Row Church of England School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Greys Court is about 2 miles south-east), access may need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Paul, or anywhere in Highmoor, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
