- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Check filters are seated before cooking
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Extract fan cleaning in Postcombe
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. The work covers discharge points, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about an extract fan with no cleaning record and vibration from an unbalanced impeller.
For a kitchen in or near Postcombe, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for most single fans. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Postcombe knowing what to expect.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Extract fan cleaning around Postcombe
About 40 miles out from central London, Postcombe is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Postcombe. 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.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Postcombe is Thame Community Hospital, about 3.8 miles north. Adwell House, about 0.8 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Postcombe; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Postcombe, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Postcombe is about 4 miles south of Thame, in Oxfordshire.

Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
What a clean will not put right
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A fan that won’t start
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
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 the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
