Extract Fan Cleaning in New Hinksey
One call covers extract fan cleaning in New Hinksey, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Extract fan cleaning in New Hinksey, done properly
In New Hinksey, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers in-line fans, fan housings and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a motor area thick with grease and a fan coated in grease inside its housing.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like New Hinksey gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What we are called out for in New Hinksey
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan shaking on its mounts
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Radcliffe Infirmary about 1.6 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in New Hinksey
The Food Standards Agency lists about 73 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 15 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of New Hinksey. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Oxford City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in New Hinksey. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for New Hinksey 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.
Where a hall near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in New Hinksey, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as New Hinksey Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Managing agents and facilities teams in New Hinksey
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
The process
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 few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Around New Hinksey, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Common questions in New Hinksey
Which fire service covers New Hinksey?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers New Hinksey. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who inspects food businesses in New Hinksey?
That’s Oxford City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in New Hinksey. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is New Hinksey in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in New Hinksey, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
