Leave it or put it right?
A fan that sounds rough in Midgham Green is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Midgham Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Midgham Green
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. If you have a smell of hot grease from the extract and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Midgham Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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’re fully insured.

The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Midgham Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Midgham Green
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
For kitchens close to Midgham station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Report rattles or humming early
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
FAQs for Midgham Green
Which environmental health team covers Midgham Green?
That is West Berkshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Midgham Green. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work at weekends in Midgham Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Midgham Green keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after photos go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Do you cover Midgham Green?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Midgham Green.
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
