Extract fan cleaning in Horsleys Green, done properly
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you have rough running from the extract fan and a fan left out of previous cleans, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Horsleys Green 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Horsleys Green
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Common problems we fix in Horsleys Green
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
For schools such as The Mary Towerton School At Studley Green, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Horsleys Green
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Horsleys Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Horsleys Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Horsleys Green sits within the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (West Wycombe Park House is about 2.7 miles east), access may need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Wycombe Hospital is the nearest hospital to Horsleys Green, about 5 miles east.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Horsleys Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Horsleys Green: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Horsleys Green?
In Horsleys Green, it’s Buckinghamshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work at weekends in Horsleys Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Horsleys Green keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Report grease escaping from the fan
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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.
