How we handle extract fan cleaning in North Moreton
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. Common call-outs are for weak extraction at the canopy and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, on in-line fans, discharge points and fan housings.
Somewhere as small as North Moreton, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

North Moreton questions
Do you work overnight in North Moreton?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in North Moreton?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in North Moreton?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Somewhere like North Moreton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Why deal with it now?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. A planned visit to North Moreton is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
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.
Why us?
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Full insurance on every job
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A fan that will not start
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points

Kitchen extracts in North Moreton
About 48 miles out from central London, North Moreton is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in North Moreton get their food hygiene inspections from South Oxfordshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in North Moreton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Brightwell Manor is about 1.2 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as South Moreton Primary School or anywhere near North Moreton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
