Extract fan cleaning for North Newington, with a survey first and a report with pictures at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Report grease escaping from the fan
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in North Newington
Any fan serving a kitchen in North Newington is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. We’re often asked to deal with less air being pulled from the kitchen and a fan shaking on its mounts, on fan housings, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans.
Work in a small place like North Newington starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

FAQs for North Newington
Which fire authority looks after North Newington?
That’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in North Newington?
In North Newington, 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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How do you 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.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: 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.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in North Newington?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Extract fan cleaning around North Newington
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in North Newington and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Fire safety in North Newington falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in North Newington 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. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning the fan in North Newington now is a short job: it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near North Newington rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. For a village or hamlet like North Newington, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
