Extract fan cleaning for sites in Jericho

Kitchen extracts in Jericho

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 316 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 31 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Jericho. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Food hygiene inspections in Jericho are the job of Oxford City council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Jericho falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Radcliffe Infirmary (about under half a mile east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Barnabas Church or elsewhere in Jericho, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Extract fan cleaning in Jericho

Any fan serving a kitchen in Jericho is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. Common call-outs are for rough running from the extract fan and hot, greasy smells near the fan, on in-line fans, discharge points and fan housings.

Kitchens around a place like Jericho are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.

Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

How the visit works

A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Tell us when your site near Jericho is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.

  1. We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
  2. With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
  3. We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
  4. The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
  5. The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Ask for a quote

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Why it’s worth doing now in Jericho

The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Why us?

  • We’re fully insured
  • One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
  • Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
  • We diagnose before we treat

What affects the quote in Jericho

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

  • What state the system is in
  • The times the site is available
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Helping us quote

To help us quote quickly, please include:

  • A few general shots of the system
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Problems your staff have spotted

For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.

When to call us in Jericho

Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
  • A fan that has never been cleaned
  • A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
  • Burning smells from the fan area

School kitchens, at schools like St Barnabas' Church of England Aided Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • If they look at the system before pricing
  • Whether the quote shows VAT
  • How areas they can’t reach will be recorded

Questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Jericho

Which fire authority looks after Jericho?

Fire safety enforcement in Jericho is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.

Will you come out to Jericho?

Yes. Jericho is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Can you work evenings and weekends?

Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site doesn’t lose a service.

Which sectors do you work in?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

How much does extract fan cleaning cost?

Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.

Does the law say we must follow TR19?

Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.

What happens if you can’t reach some of it?

The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.

Why has my extract fan got louder?

Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.

When it’s something else

Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:

  • Damaged fan blades
  • Wiring faults to the fan
  • A dirty duct upstream of the fan

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Discharge points
  • Axial fans
  • In-line fans
  • Fan housings
  • Centrifugal fans

How the job changes from site to site

Fan housings and motors

Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.

Kitchens with long cooking hours

A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
