How we handle extract fan cleaning in Moreton
We have been trading since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. The work covers axial fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are hot, greasy smells near the fan and a motor area thick with grease.
Somewhere as small as Moreton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the 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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Common problems we fix in Moreton
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Moreton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What the work involves, 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.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Why it’s worth doing now in Moreton
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. With notice, the visit to Moreton can be fitted around your bookings and events.

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Moreton, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Moreton
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Moreton. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Moreton are the job of South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Moreton. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For schools such as Lord Williams's School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Adwell House is about 3.3 miles south), access may need planning.

Common questions in Moreton
Who is the fire and rescue service for Moreton?
Moreton is in the area of Oxfordshire 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.
Do you work at weekends in Moreton?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Moreton doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
An unbalanced impeller, typically from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
