Questions from Nettlebed
Which fire authority looks after Nettlebed?
Fire safety enforcement in Nettlebed is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work at weekends in Nettlebed?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in Nettlebed?
Yes. We cover Nettlebed and across Oxfordshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Nettlebed?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Nettlebed
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Nettlebed, typically within one working day. The work covers fan housings, centrifugal fans and in-line fans, and people most often call us about a noisy fan that has got louder over time and a fan coated in grease inside its housing.
Work in a small place like Nettlebed 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Why it’s worth doing now in Nettlebed
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. A fault that closes a site in a village like Nettlebed affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Extract fan cleaning around Nettlebed
There are about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Nettlebed and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. The fire and rescue service for Nettlebed is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s South Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Nettlebed. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Nettlebed (Greys Court is about 2.7 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Bartholomew, or anywhere in Nettlebed, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Nettlebed Community School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Nettlebed is about 7 miles north of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Nettlebed, extract fan cleaning is something we can help with.

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere as small as Nettlebed, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
What affects the quote in Nettlebed
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

- The site address and the type of premises
