Extract fan cleaning in Holyport

Extract fan cleaning in Holyport, done properly

The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. If you have a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and a smell of hot grease from the extract, we can help, from axial fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans onwards.

Work in a small place like Holyport starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Multi-site and managed buildings

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Windsor and Maidenhead. 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, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

When it’s something else

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:

  • Damaged fan blades
  • Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
  • A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)

If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What the work covers

  • Discharge points
  • Fan housings
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Axial fans
  • In-line fans
  • Centrifugal fans

Between visits

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:

  • Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
  • Notice when the fan starts to sound different
  • Never cook with a filter missing
  • Keep each photo report with the maintenance log

When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.

Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Holyport

Which fire authority looks after Holyport?

Fire safety enforcement in Holyport is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.

Do you cover smaller places like Holyport?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Holyport is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

How often does the fan need cleaning?

With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.

Do you work out of hours?

Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll plan the visit around them.

Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?

A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.

Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?

Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.

Does the law say we must follow TR19?

No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

What the work involves, part by part

Impellers and blades

While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.

Roof-mounted fans

Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.

Extract fan cleaning in Holyport: the local picture

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Holyport. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Holyport. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Holyport get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Dorney Court is about 2.2 miles east), access may need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Holyport CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Mark's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Holyport, about 2.5 miles north-west.

Holyport is about 2 miles south of Maidenhead, in Windsor and Maidenhead. Whether your site is in the middle of Holyport or further out, extract fan cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Our Windsor and Maidenhead coverage runs to 57 places, Holyport among them. You can also see our page for Reading, about 12 miles away.

Why it’s worth doing now in Holyport

Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Holyport is calmer for everyone.

How we price extract fan cleaning

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:

  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Helping us quote

To help us quote quickly, send us:

  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

How it works

Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In a small place like Holyport, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.

  1. Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
  2. With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
  3. The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
  4. Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
  5. We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

How to get a quote

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
