Extract fan cleaning in Remenham Hill, done properly
Any fan serving a kitchen in Remenham Hill is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. We’re often asked to deal with a fan left out of previous cleans and less air being pulled from the kitchen, across axial fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
Somewhere as small as Remenham Hill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
Every site is different, 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
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Why act early in Remenham Hill
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. In a small place like Remenham Hill, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Remenham Hill
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Marlow Community Hospital about 5.1 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before you book
- How VAT is shown on the quote

- Proof of insurance

What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and grease builds up on them unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Remenham Hill kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 17 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in and around Remenham Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Remenham Hill falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Remenham Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wokingham council. 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Greenlands is about 1.7 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Remenham Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Questions from Remenham Hill
Can you come to Remenham Hill after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Remenham Hill needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Remenham Hill during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Remenham Hill. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you cover Remenham Hill?
Yes. We cover Remenham Hill and across Oxfordshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. For a village or hamlet like Remenham Hill, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
