Extract Fan Cleaning in Hurley
Cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points for Hurley, with a survey first and a report with pictures at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Check filters are seated before cooking
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hurley

Somewhere as small as Hurley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
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 carry full insurance.

Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it can’t be reached fully, the report says so.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Hurley run smoothly.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
Hurley kitchens: local notes
Look up Hurley on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Hurley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. The fire and rescue service for Hurley is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hurley. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
School kitchens, at schools like Danesfield School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Hurley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

When to call us in Hurley
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Hurley as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Historic houses near Hurley, such as Harleyford Manor about 0.6 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Hurley: your questions answered
Will you come out to Hurley?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hurley is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Hurley?
Kitchens in Hurley are inspected by Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
A common cause is grease. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
