In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

What the work covers
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Horton-cum-Studley?
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Rough running from the extract fan
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Churchill Hospital is the nearest hospital to Horton-cum-Studley, about 4.5 miles south-west.

Horton-cum-Studley questions
Can you work in Horton-cum-Studley outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Horton-cum-Studley keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Horton-cum-Studley?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Horton-cum-Studley. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks, under BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
