Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Hurst
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Hurst
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. Common call-outs are for a smell of hot grease from the extract and an extract fan with no cleaning record, on centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
For a kitchen in or near Hurst, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Hurst
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
School kitchens, at schools like St Nicholas Church of England Primary for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What hours they’ll be on site
What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Kitchen extracts in Hurst
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Hurst. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Hurst are the job of Wokingham council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hurst is covered by 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.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Wokingham Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hurst, about 3.2 miles south.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
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. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Hurst.
- 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.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Hurst: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Hurst?
Yes, Hurst is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Hurst after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Hurst keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
An unbalanced impeller, usually from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
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 legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
