For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Kiln Green and across Wokingham. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Extract fan cleaning in Kiln Green
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. If you are dealing with a heavily greased fan housing and rough running from the extract fan, we can put it right.
In a small place like Kiln Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Kiln Green.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
When to call us in Kiln Green
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan left out of previous cleans
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Saint Peter or elsewhere in Kiln Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the price is fixed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What hours they’ll be on site
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Report rattles or humming early
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Kiln Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Kiln Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Kiln Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wokingham council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Kiln Green falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Mark's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Kiln Green, about 4.1 miles north-east. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Knowl Hill Church of England Primary Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Questions from Kiln Green
Can you come to Kiln Green after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Kiln Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Kiln Green is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
