Extract fan cleaning in Letcombe Regis, done properly
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you have fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a smell of hot grease from the extract, we can put it right, from in-line fans, fan housings and axial fans onwards.
Somewhere as small as Letcombe Regis, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
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’re fully insured.

Extract fan cleaning in Letcombe Regis: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 9 pubs, bars and clubs in Letcombe Regis and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Letcombe Regis is Oxfordshire 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. In Letcombe Regis, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Letcombe Regis, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like St Nicholas CofE Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Letcombe Regis before we set off.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Letcombe Regis
Which fire service covers Letcombe Regis?
Letcombe Regis is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work in villages like Letcombe Regis?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Letcombe Regis included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If we find wear or damage, we’ll explain it and send you a fixed quote.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Never cook with a filter missing
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
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.

Part by part
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
What affects the quote in Letcombe Regis
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

Why act early in Letcombe Regis
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. In a small place like Letcombe Regis, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
