How we handle extract fan cleaning in Moulsford
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you are dealing with grease around the motor and its mounts and burning smells from the fan area, we can help, from roof-mounted fans, fan housings and discharge points onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Moulsford, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. The timing of a visit to Moulsford is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
What happens if it’s left?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. If the system at a site near Moulsford fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Moulsford?
How fast a fan gets greasy in Moulsford depends on the cooking: 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.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Rough running from the extract fan
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Moulsford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When the next visit should be, and why
- How VAT is shown on the quote
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Moulsford
Fire safety in Moulsford falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Moulsford get their food hygiene inspections from South Oxfordshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as Cranford House School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically 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 (Basildon Park is about 3.9 miles south), access may need planning.
