Extract Fan Cleaning in Newnham Murren
Cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points in Newnham Murren, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and photos. Call for a fixed quote.

What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Newnham Murren, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Newnham Murren is calmer for everyone.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Newnham Murren
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you’re dealing with rough running from the extract fan and a motor area thick with grease, we can help, from in-line fans, discharge points and fan housings onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Newnham Murren
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Newnham Murren?
Fire safety enforcement in Newnham Murren 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.
Can you come to Newnham Murren after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A clean will not mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Visits to a village like Newnham Murren are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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 is where we come in.

What we’re called out for in Newnham Murren
A greasy fan in Newnham Murren is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
School kitchens, at schools like Crowmarsh Gifford Church of England School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of insurance
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Report rattles or humming early
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Damaged fan blades
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
