How we handle extract fan cleaning in North Aston
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Typical jobs include less air being pulled from the kitchen and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, on centrifugal fans, axial fans and roof-mounted fans.
Somewhere as small as North Aston, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

North Aston questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for North Aston?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers North Aston. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which environmental health team covers North Aston?
In North Aston, it’s Cherwell council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
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.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually 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 the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Report rattles or humming early
- Book the fan into every full TR19 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.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Extract fan cleaning in North Aston: the local picture
Food hygiene inspections in North Aston are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. 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. The fire and rescue service for North Aston is Oxfordshire 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in North Aston, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near North Aston, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
What we’re called out for in North Aston
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan left out of previous cleans
A TR19® clean in North Aston does not stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A fan that will not start
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
