Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hook Norton
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. We are often asked to deal with burning smells from the fan area and rough running from the extract fan, on in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points.
Kitchens around a place like Hook Norton are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Questions from Hook Norton
Which council inspects kitchens in Hook Norton?
That’s Cherwell council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hook Norton. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hook Norton?
Fire safety enforcement in Hook Norton is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hook Norton
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What you get with us
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- We diagnose before we treat
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep records of every fan clean
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a place like Hook Norton are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
Hook Norton kitchens: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Hook Norton are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. 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. The fire and rescue service for Hook Norton is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Hook Norton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Historic houses near Hook Norton, such as Broughton Castle about 4.8 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hook Norton Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A fan that will not start
