Newbury questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Newbury?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. 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 cover smaller places like Newbury?
Yes, Newbury is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Newbury
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you’re dealing with a heavily greased fan housing and a smell of hot grease from the extract, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Newbury, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Newbury and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
When to call us in Newbury
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Catherine or anywhere around Newbury, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What insurance they carry
- Whether VAT is included
- If they look at the system before pricing
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that sounds rough in Newbury is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. It’s simpler to plan the work at Newbury now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Newbury
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Newbury. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Swale council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Newbury. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Newbury is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Belmont House and Gardens is about 4.3 miles south-east), access may need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Rodmersham School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans

What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
