How we handle extract fan cleaning in Nash Lee
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. The work covers discharge points, centrifugal fans and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are less air being pulled from the kitchen and a smell of hot grease from the extract.
For a kitchen in or near Nash Lee, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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.

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere like Nash Lee, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- 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.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Kitchen extracts in Nash Lee
The FSA’s data shows about 9 pubs, bars and clubs registered in Nash Lee and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Nash Lee falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Nash Lee are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as John Colet School or anywhere near Nash Lee, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Nash Lee, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Nash Lee is about 4 miles south-east of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Nash Lee gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. Nash Lee is one of 263 towns, villages and districts in Buckinghamshire we cover for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Oxford, roughly 19 miles from Nash Lee.

Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Russell Arms, among other places. The nearest railway station is Stoke Mandeville station, about 1.4 miles north.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
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.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Damaged fan blades
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

Part by part
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.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Common problems we fix in Nash Lee
How fast a fan gets greasy in Nash Lee depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A heavily greased fan housing
A hospital like Stoke Mandeville Hospital, about 2.3 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Questions from Nash Lee
Do you work at weekends in Nash Lee?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire service covers Nash Lee?
Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Nash Lee. 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 have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
How long is a fan clean?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
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.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
