Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Extract fan cleaning in Ley Hill, done properly
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you have a heavily greased fan housing and less air being pulled from the kitchen, we can help, from discharge points, axial fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Ley Hill, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Buckinghamshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Kitchen extracts in Ley Hill
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars in and around Ley Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Ley Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire 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. Ley Hill is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St George's Church, or anywhere in Ley Hill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Ley Hill (Chenies Manor House is about 2.7 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Amersham Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ley Hill, about 3.8 miles south-west.

Ley Hill questions
Which fire service covers Ley Hill?
Ley Hill is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ley Hill?
The local authority for Ley Hill is Buckinghamshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Is Ley Hill in your area?
Yes. We work in Ley Hill and across Buckinghamshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Allow a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
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.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
The process
On the day, we arrive 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 a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Ley Hill is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

What affects the quote in Ley Hill
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For extract fan cleaning in Ley Hill, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
