About our extract fan cleaning in Risinghurst
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. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you have an extract fan with no cleaning record and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Risinghurst, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Risinghurst when you book.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

What we’re called out for in Risinghurst
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Risinghurst as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan left out of previous cleans
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre about 0.9 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before booking
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Risinghurst
Can a school canteen extract in Risinghurst be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 7 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Risinghurst. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Will you come out to Risinghurst?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Risinghurst is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
The fan follows the full system’s interval, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

What else we do in Risinghurst
Risinghurst kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 15 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 7 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in and around Risinghurst, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Risinghurst 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. Kitchens in Risinghurst get their food hygiene inspections from Oxford City council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Holywell Manor, about 2.5 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Risinghurst; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Risinghurst, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
