About our extract fan cleaning in Longwick
Any fan serving a kitchen in Longwick is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers in-line fans, centrifugal fans and axial fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan that no longer moves enough air and vibration from an unbalanced impeller.
In a smaller place like Longwick, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A motor that has burnt out
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
What happens if it’s left?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Common questions in Longwick
Can you work in Longwick outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Longwick needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Longwick?
In Longwick, it’s Buckinghamshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
A common cause is grease. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In a smaller place like Longwick, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Part by part
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
