About our extract fan cleaning in Oakley
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers centrifugal fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are thick grease on the impeller and casing and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
For a smaller kitchen near Oakley, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Oakley
Can you get to a site in Oakley?
Yes. Oakley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Oakley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Oakley can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
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.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Oakley?
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Grease stains around the discharge
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John's, or anywhere in Oakley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether VAT is included
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Extract fan cleaning around Oakley
About 50 miles out from central London, Oakley is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. In Oakley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Park Prewett Hospital about 3.2 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Oakley CE Junior School or anywhere near Oakley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

How the job changes from site to site
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 we clean what we safely can.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Fan housings

- Discharge points
- In-line fans

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. For a place like Oakley, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- 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.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Why it’s worth doing now in Oakley
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
