For a smaller kitchen near Marcham, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Marcham: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Marcham?
In Marcham, it’s Vale of White Horse council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work overnight in Marcham?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Marcham does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Tell us when your site near Marcham is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- 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.
- 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
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Marcham
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
When to call us in Marcham
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
A hospital like Abingdon Community Hospital, about 1.7 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Marcham
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, with any limits noted.
