Oxfordshire · Extract fan cleaning
North Weston extract fan cleaning
We cover North Weston for cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Extract fan cleaning in North Weston
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. Common call-outs are for grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, across fan housings, axial fans and roof-mounted fans.
For a kitchen in or near North Weston, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

North Weston questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in North Weston?
Kitchens in North Weston are inspected by Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for North Weston?
That’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Do you work in North Weston?
Yes. North Weston is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Allow a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
How we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in North Weston
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to North Weston and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. In a small place like North Weston, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Grease, kitchens and North Weston
Kitchens in North Weston get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. North Weston, about 43 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Lord Williams's School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in North Weston, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Thame Community Hospital about 1.9 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
North Weston is about 2 miles west of Thame, in Oxfordshire. We carry out extract fan cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in North Weston and the rest of Oxfordshire.
