Grease, kitchens and Littlefield Green
There are about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Littlefield Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Littlefield Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Littlefield Green is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Dorney Court is about 4.3 miles north-east), access may need planning. School kitchens, at schools like Holyport College for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

About our extract fan cleaning in Littlefield Green
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. Common call-outs are for rough running from the extract fan and less air being pulled from the kitchen, across roof-mounted fans, discharge points and fan housings.
Somewhere as small as Littlefield Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Littlefield Green?
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
What we are most often called out for:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mark's Hospital about 3.3 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. That is what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Littlefield Green
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
FAQs for Littlefield Green
Is Littlefield Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Littlefield Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Littlefield Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
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.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.

Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. In a small place like Littlefield Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Littlefield Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
