Shellingford extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning in Shellingford from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shellingford
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 we plan that during the survey. Typical jobs include less air being pulled from the kitchen and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, across discharge points, centrifugal fans and in-line fans.
Somewhere as small as Shellingford, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Shellingford, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. Planning a trip to Shellingford ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Shellingford: your questions answered
Can you come to Shellingford after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Shellingford does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which environmental health team covers Shellingford?
The local authority for Shellingford is Vale of White Horse council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
The fan follows the full system’s interval at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In a small place like Shellingford, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Never cook with a filter missing
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Extract fan cleaning in Shellingford: the local picture
Shellingford sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Shellingford get their food hygiene inspections from Vale of White Horse council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hospital like Longworth Hospital, about 2.3 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Where a hall near Church of St Faith, or anywhere in Shellingford, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Shellingford Church of England (Voluntary Aided) School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Shellingford is about 6 miles north-west of Wantage, in Oxfordshire. We carry out extract fan cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Shellingford and the rest of Oxfordshire. Shellingford is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we work for commercial clients. For sites nearby, see our Oxford page, about 15 miles away.
Extract fan cleaning in SN7 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. We cover sites on Church Street and Fernham Road and nearby roads. Neighbouring places we cover for extract fan cleaning include Stanford in the Vale (1 mile east), Hatford (2 miles north-east), Baulking (2 miles south), Bow (2 miles east) and Fernham (2 miles south-west).

Local landmarks in Shellingford
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Faringdon Community College and the streets around them. A little further out are Faringdon Castle (1.9 miles north-west) and Faringdon Museum (2.2 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Badbury Hill.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Shellingford
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
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 there are no surprises.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
