How we handle extract fan cleaning in Seer Green
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers roof-mounted fans, axial fans and in-line fans, and the jobs we see most are hot, greasy smells near the fan and a fan that has never been cleaned.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.

What we’re called out for in Seer Green
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Seer Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Seer Green: your questions answered
Can the work in Seer Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Seer Green can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Seer Green?
Kitchens in Seer Green are inspected by Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
A single accessible fan does not take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
What’s TR19?
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.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
