Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Middlegreen
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that’s what we clean. The work covers centrifugal fans, discharge points and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan shaking on its mounts and rough running from the extract fan.
For a kitchen in or near Middlegreen, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Visits to a village like Middlegreen are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one

When to call us in Middlegreen
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Where a hall near St Mary the Virgin Church, or anywhere in Middlegreen, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the figure could change on the day
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Grease, kitchens and Middlegreen
There are about 49 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 45 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Middlegreen, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Middlegreen are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Middlegreen. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Upton Hospital about 1.6 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Langley Academy Primary, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Questions from Middlegreen
Can you get to a site in Middlegreen?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Middlegreen is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Middlegreen in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 13 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Middlegreen. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Middlegreen?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep records of every fan clean
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
