About our extract fan cleaning in Lower Arncott
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. Typical jobs include a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and a fan that no longer moves enough air, on axial fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
For a kitchen in or near Lower Arncott, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: 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. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Lower Arncott and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Lower Arncott
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
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.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
What we are called out for in Lower Arncott
A greasy fan in Lower Arncott is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Lower Arncott (Boarstall Tower is about 2.5 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A motor that has burnt out
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Lower Arncott
Can school kitchens in Lower Arncott be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Lower Arncott. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you get to a site in Lower Arncott?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lower Arncott is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Lower Arncott?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Lower Arncott and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
