About our extract fan cleaning in Paley Street
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you are dealing with thick grease on the impeller and casing and an extract fan with no cleaning record, we can help.
Work in a small place like Paley Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, 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 Paley Street
Do you cover smaller places like Paley Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Paley Street is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Paley Street?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Paley Street can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
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 legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Extract fan cleaning around Paley Street
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Paley Street, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council inspect food businesses in Paley Street. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Paley Street sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mark's Hospital (about 3.1 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.

- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A fan that will not start
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- Damaged fan blades
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Paley Street
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
What we are most often called out for:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease stains around the discharge
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Holyport College or anywhere near Paley Street, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether a written report and photos are included
How we price extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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, and that is where we come in.
Why deal with it now?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Paley Street rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
