About our extract fan cleaning in Kingham
Any fan serving a kitchen in Kingham is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers fan housings, centrifugal fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are vibration from an unbalanced impeller and burning smells from the fan area.
In a small place like Kingham, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What we are called out for in Kingham
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Look out for any of the following:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
A hospital like Moore Cottage Hospital, about 5.8 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Report rattles or humming early
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.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Kingham knowing what to expect.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading

What staff can safely do
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Kingham questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Kingham?
That is West Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Kingham. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Will you come out to Kingham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Kingham is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we’ll explain it and send you a fixed quote.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kingham
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. With notice, the visit to Kingham can be fitted around your bookings and events.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Kitchen extracts in Kingham
In Kingham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Kingham is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
