When to call us in Over Norton
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Over Norton as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Church and community hall kitchens, near St James or anywhere around Over Norton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Over Norton
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. If you’re dealing with a motor area thick with grease and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Over Norton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Over Norton.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Over Norton: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Over Norton?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Over Norton keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Over Norton?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Over Norton. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and send you a fixed quote.
Grease, kitchens and Over Norton
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 22 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 9 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Over Norton. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Over Norton 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. Food hygiene inspections in Over Norton are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Over Norton (Chastleton House is about 4.1 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Holy Trinity Catholic School or anywhere near Over Norton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
