What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Extract fan cleaning around Old Warren
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Old Warren. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Old Warren are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Old Warren is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
The Vyne, about 4.8 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Old Warren; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St.Saviours or elsewhere in Old Warren, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. For a village or hamlet like Old Warren, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Common questions in Old Warren
Do you work at weekends in Old Warren?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Old Warren keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Old Warren?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Old Warren. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
