Extract fan cleaning in Hungerford Green
In Hungerford Green, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. Typical jobs include an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and weak extraction at the canopy, on axial fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
In a small place like Hungerford Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
When we’ve 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.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Extract fan cleaning around Hungerford Green
About 47 miles out from central London, Hungerford Green is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from West Berkshire council inspect food businesses in Hungerford Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For schools such as The Downs School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Basildon Park is about 3.4 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A motor that has burnt out
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from Hungerford Green
Can you work in Hungerford Green outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Hungerford Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hungerford Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Hungerford Green is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you work in Hungerford Green?
Yes. We cover Hungerford Green and across Oxfordshire, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Common problems we fix in Hungerford Green
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, 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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's church or elsewhere in Hungerford Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

The process
Your staff do not 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 the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Hungerford Green before we set off.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
