For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Extract fan cleaning in Lower Brailes
We have been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. Common call-outs are for thick grease on the impeller and casing and grease escaping from the fan outlet, on centrifugal fans, axial fans and roof-mounted fans.
For a kitchen in or near Lower Brailes, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Wiring faults to the fan
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings

Lower Brailes questions
Can you get to a site in Lower Brailes?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Lower Brailes included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Lower Brailes outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Lower Brailes keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
An unbalanced impeller, normally from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we’ll tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we do. 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.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Lower Brailes, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Why act early in Lower Brailes
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. With notice, the visit to Lower Brailes can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why Lower Brailes businesses choose us
- We diagnose before we treat
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Trading since 2009
- A written report with photos after each visit
Common problems we fix in Lower Brailes
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
What we are most often called out for:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Burning smells from the fan area
For schools such as Brailes CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a written report and photos are included
Extract fan cleaning in Lower Brailes: the local picture
The fire and rescue service for Lower Brailes is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Lower Brailes are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St George or elsewhere in Lower Brailes, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Ellen Badger Hospital (about 3.5 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
