How we handle extract fan cleaning in Laddingford
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. Common call-outs are for an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and grease escaping from the fan outlet, across discharge points, in-line fans and axial fans.
For a kitchen in or near Laddingford, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

When to call us in Laddingford
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A motor area thick with grease
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary, or anywhere in Laddingford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
FAQs for Laddingford
Do you work at weekends in Laddingford?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Laddingford does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in villages like Laddingford?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Laddingford included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Laddingford run smoothly.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What else we do in Laddingford
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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.
Why act early in Laddingford
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. With notice, the visit to Laddingford can be fitted around your bookings and events.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Report rattles or humming early
- Leave a clear route to the fan
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
