Extract fan cleaning in Middle Assendon
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you’re dealing with rough running from the extract fan and an extract fan with no cleaning record, we can put it right, from roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points onwards.
Somewhere as small as Middle Assendon, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To get a fixed quote, ring 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 usually come back within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning the fan in Middle Assendon now is a short job: it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

FAQs for Middle Assendon
Can you get to a site in Middle Assendon?
Yes, Middle Assendon is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work in Middle Assendon outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Middle Assendon doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
How long is a fan clean?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, where it makes sense. We’ll often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan typically means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for most single fans, and we clear up before we go. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Middle Assendon and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
Get a fixed quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
What we are called out for in Middle Assendon
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Greys Court is about 1.8 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Report grease escaping from the fan
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Make sure the fan is reachable. 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.
