Extract fan cleaning in Newtown Common, done properly
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. The work covers in-line fans, axial fans and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan left out of previous cleans and grease stains around the discharge.
In a small place like Newtown Common, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Newtown Common
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs, bars and clubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Newtown Common. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Newtown Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Newtown Common sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary and St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Newtown Common, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; West Berkshire Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Newtown Common, about 3.1 miles north-east.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Never cook with a filter missing
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
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 your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist 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. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Newtown Common
Do you cover smaller places like Newtown Common?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Newtown Common included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Newtown Common?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Newtown Common can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
What we do, step by step
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 the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Newtown Common and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What else we do in Newtown Common
Why it’s worth doing now in Newtown Common
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Planning a trip to Newtown Common ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Newtown Common?
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Highclere Castle, about 3.1 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Newtown Common; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What hours they’ll be on site
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- Wiring faults to the fan
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
