Extract fan cleaning in Ryeish Green
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers in-line fans, discharge points and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are rough running from the extract fan and an extract fan with no cleaning record.
For a kitchen in or near Ryeish Green, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Ryeish Green.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Why act early in Ryeish Green
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A motor that has burnt out
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Ryeish Green
Common problems we fix in Ryeish Green
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Ryeish Green as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease stains around the discharge
Historic houses near Ryeish Green, such as Stratfield Saye House about 4 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

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. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Questions from Ryeish Green
Which fire service covers Ryeish Green?
That is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which council inspects kitchens in Ryeish Green?
Kitchens in Ryeish Green are inspected by Wokingham council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
An unbalanced impeller, typically from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
