What extract fan cleaning looks like in Northmoor
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Northmoor, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Northmoor. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Northmoor is covered by 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Abingdon Community Hospital (about 5.4 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Denys, or anywhere in Northmoor, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Northmoor is about 6 miles north-west of Abingdon-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. We carry out extract fan cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Northmoor and the rest of Oxfordshire. Northmoor is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover for commercial clients. We also work in Oxford, about 7 miles from Northmoor.

Landmarks near Northmoor
Around Northmoor, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Red Lion Public House. Other landmarks nearby include Abingdon Community Hospital (5.4 miles south-east) and Hinton Waldrist Castle (3.7 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Hitchcopse Pit and Cumnor Hill.
Extract fan cleaning in Northmoor, done properly
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers centrifugal fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a noisy fan that has got louder over time and grease stains around the discharge.
For a kitchen in or near Northmoor, 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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Northmoor: your questions answered
Will you come out to Northmoor?
Yes, Northmoor is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Northmoor?
That is 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. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll book around them.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
A clean won’t mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Northmoor?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
The fan follows the full system’s interval at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Northmoor.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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 do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What happens if it’s left?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Planning a trip to Northmoor ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

How we price extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Northmoor?
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Appleton Manor is about 1.7 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they recommend a next date
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
