About our extract fan cleaning in Hundridge
Not all extract fans are the same: 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. The work covers fan housings, in-line fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and a fan left out of previous cleans.
For a kitchen in or near Hundridge, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere like Hundridge, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Part by part
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Buckinghamshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
FAQs for Hundridge
Will you come out to Hundridge?
Yes, Hundridge is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Hundridge after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
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.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. 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.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Common problems we fix in Hundridge
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Look out for any of the following:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Burning smells from the fan area
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hundridge is Chiltern Hospital, about 2.1 miles south-west.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- If they look at the system before pricing
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Make sure the fan is included each time
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
