Extract fan cleaning in New Yatt, done properly
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. Typical jobs include a smell of hot grease from the extract and an extract fan with no cleaning record, on in-line fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans.
For a kitchen in or near New Yatt, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

New Yatt: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in New Yatt be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of New Yatt. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Will you come out to New Yatt?
Yes, New Yatt is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How long is a fan clean?
Allow a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Part by part
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. That is what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep records of every fan clean
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

What else we do in New Yatt
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Kitchen extracts in New Yatt
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of New Yatt. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Food hygiene inspections in New Yatt are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers New Yatt. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in New Yatt, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Historic houses near New Yatt, such as Minster Lovell Hall about 3.4 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What we’re called out for in New Yatt
How fast a fan gets greasy in New Yatt 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.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Rough running from the extract fan
Bursars and site managers at schools such as North Leigh Church of England (Controlled) School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to New Yatt.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
