What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In a small place like Shottesbrooke, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
Extract fan cleaning in Shottesbrooke
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. If you’re dealing with a fan left out of previous cleans and a motor area thick with grease, we can put it right.
In a small place like Shottesbrooke, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we’re called out for in Shottesbrooke
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Shottesbrooke, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Shottesbrooke are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Shottesbrooke is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

FAQs for Shottesbrooke
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Shottesbrooke?
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Shottesbrooke. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can the work in Shottesbrooke be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Shottesbrooke needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Do you work in Shottesbrooke?
Yes. We cover Shottesbrooke and the rest of Windsor and Maidenhead, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
Why deal with it now?
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.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Shottesbrooke
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
