Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lambourn Woodlands
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers discharge points, centrifugal fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are hot, greasy smells near the fan and weak extraction at the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Lambourn Woodlands, 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 report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Lambourn Woodlands
Who inspects food businesses in Lambourn Woodlands?
That’s West Berkshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Lambourn Woodlands. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you work in Lambourn Woodlands outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Before and after photos go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
A single accessible fan does not take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Lambourn Woodlands, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

How we price extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Why act early in Lambourn Woodlands
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Lambourn Woodlands is calmer for everyone.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Why us?
- Photo reports with every job
- A fixed price before any work starts
- We diagnose before we treat
- Full insurance on every job
Lambourn Woodlands kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Lambourn Woodlands, up to about a mile and a half out. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Food hygiene inspections in Lambourn Woodlands are the job of West Berkshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Lambourn Woodlands is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Historic houses near Lambourn Woodlands, such as Ashdown House about 4.6 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Where a hall near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Lambourn Woodlands, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What a clean will not put right
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
