How we price extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
About our extract fan cleaning in Oakgrove
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you have a motor area thick with grease and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can put it right, from in-line fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points onwards.
Around a smaller place like Oakgrove, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
FAQs for Oakgrove
Will you come out to Oakgrove?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Oakgrove included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire service covers Oakgrove?
Fire safety enforcement in Oakgrove is handled by Buckinghamshire 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.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Oakgrove
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 13 pubs and bars and about 5 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Oakgrove. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Oakgrove are the job of Milton Keynes council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Oakgrove. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Milton Keynes University Hospital about 1.2 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as Middleton Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What we’re called out for in Oakgrove
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Linford Manor is about 2.7 miles north-west), access may need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- What insurance they carry
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What hours they’ll be on site
How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Around Oakgrove, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
