Extract fan cleaning in Rotherfield Peppard
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you have thick grease on the impeller and casing and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right, from in-line fans, axial fans and discharge points onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Rotherfield Peppard, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Rotherfield Peppard.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

When to call us in Rotherfield Peppard
How fast a fan gets greasy in Rotherfield Peppard depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Rotherfield Peppard, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Grease, kitchens and Rotherfield Peppard

Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Rotherfield Peppard. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Rotherfield Peppard is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Report rattles or humming early
- Make sure the fan is included each time
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Rotherfield Peppard: your questions answered
Can you work in Rotherfield Peppard outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Rotherfield Peppard?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after photos go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, because it unbalances the fan. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Rotherfield Peppard
Cleaning the fan in Rotherfield Peppard now is a short job: it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
