In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something 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.
Extract fan cleaning in Mill Green, done properly
We’ve been trading since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. Common call-outs are for a smell of hot grease from the extract and a motor area thick with grease, across axial fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
In a village or hamlet like Mill Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Mill Green: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Mill Green?
Mill Green is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you come to Mill Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are 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 does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Somewhere as small as Mill Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
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.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email 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 normally come back within one working day.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Mill Green?
A fan in Mill Green builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Mill Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the price is fixed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor

Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Mill Green. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

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.
