In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Extract fan cleaning in Shenington
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. The work covers in-line fans, axial fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a motor area thick with grease and a smell of hot grease from the extract.
For a kitchen in or near Shenington, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Shenington
Can you work in Shenington outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Shenington?
Shenington is in the area of Oxfordshire 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.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
An unbalanced impeller, normally from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Shenington?
A fan in Shenington builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A heavily greased fan housing
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Shenington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What else we do in Shenington
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Shenington, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Planning a trip to Shenington ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Shenington
Shenington sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Shenington are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hospital like Horton General Hospital, about 5.6 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Shenington Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Shenington is about 5 miles west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. We carry out extract fan cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Shenington and the rest of Oxfordshire. Our Oxfordshire coverage runs to 443 places, Shenington among them. For sites nearby, see our Oxford page (25 miles or so).

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Damaged fan blades
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Shenington.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
