Extract fan cleaning in Nuneham Courtenay
In Nuneham Courtenay, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles.
In a small place like Nuneham Courtenay, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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.

Nuneham Courtenay: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Nuneham Courtenay?
That is South Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Nuneham Courtenay. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work overnight in Nuneham Courtenay?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
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.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
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.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Nuneham Courtenay?
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Littlemore Hospital about 2.3 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A fan that will not start
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Damaged fan blades
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Why act early in Nuneham Courtenay
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. A planned visit to Nuneham Courtenay is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Nuneham Courtenay run smoothly.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
