Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Longworth

Any fan serving a kitchen in Longworth is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. If you’re dealing with thick grease on the impeller and casing and grease escaping from the fan outlet, we can put it right.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Leave it or put it right?

A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Planning a trip to Longworth ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Why us?

  • In business since 2009
  • A written report with photos after every visit
  • Every job surveyed first
  • We are fully insured

Read our cost guide and how to check a contractor.

Between visits

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

  • Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
  • Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
  • Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
  • Keep records of every fan clean

When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through 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.

Extract fan cleaning in Longworth: the local picture

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Longworth, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Longworth sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Longworth are the job of Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Longworth (Longworth House is about 0.4 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. School kitchens, at schools like Longworth Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Longworth, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Longworth is about 7 miles west of Abingdon-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. Sites in Longworth get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Longworth is one of 443 towns, villages and districts in Oxfordshire where we work for extract fan cleaning. There’s also a page for Oxford, roughly 10 miles from Longworth.

How we price extract fan cleaning

The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:

  • The scale of the work
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • The times the site is available

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 work begins, so you know where you stand.

Asking for a quote

What to send for a quote:

  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Problems your staff have spotted

To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Longworth: your questions answered

Do you work in villages like Longworth?

Yes. Longworth is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Longworth?

Fire safety enforcement in Longworth is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.

Do we lose a day’s trading?

Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.

How long will it take to clean the fan?

One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.

What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?

A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.

What types of premises do you cover?

Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.

How the visit works

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Longworth.

  1. First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
  2. With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
  3. The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
  4. We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
  5. We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

How to get a quote

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Advice

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
