Extract fan cleaning in Hunt's Green: the local picture
Hunt's Green is about 30 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. In Hunt's Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chiltern Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hunt's Green, about 2.4 miles south. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Lee Common Church of England School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Extract fan cleaning in Hunt's Green
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Typical jobs include an extract fan with no cleaning record and grease stains around the discharge, across axial fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans.
For a kitchen in or near Hunt's Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Common questions in Hunt's Green
Can you work in Hunt's Green outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you get to a site in Hunt's Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
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.
Common problems we fix in Hunt's Green
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease stains around the discharge
Cholesbury Manor House, about 2.9 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Hunt's Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
What to look for in a quote
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Check filters are seated before cooking
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
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 we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Hunt's Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
