Why it’s worth doing now in North Stoke
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in North Stoke
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that is what we clean. We are often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, across discharge points, axial fans and centrifugal fans.
Somewhere as small as North Stoke, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Never cook with a filter missing
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
What we are called out for in North Stoke
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Burning smells from the fan area
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Brightwell Manor is about 3.5 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to North Stoke.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area

North Stoke: your questions answered
Is North Stoke within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, North Stoke included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for North Stoke?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in North Stoke?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
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.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in North Stoke
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
