How it works

Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Sibford Ferris.

  1. We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
  2. It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
  3. We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
  4. Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
  5. It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Sibford Ferris

We have been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you are dealing with vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, we can put it right, from fan housings, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.

For a kitchen in or near Sibford Ferris, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning

Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:

  • The size of the system
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

What we need to know

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

What the work involves, part by part

Impellers and blades

While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.

Wall fans

Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.

Sibford Ferris: your questions answered

Will you come out to Sibford Ferris?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Sibford Ferris is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Which fire authority looks after Sibford Ferris?

It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Sibford Ferris. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.

Why is my extract fan noisy?

A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.

What’s TR19?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.

What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?

Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. Keep it with your maintenance log.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.

Where does the waste go?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Kitchen extracts in Sibford Ferris

Food hygiene inspections in Sibford Ferris are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Sibford Ferris is covered by Oxfordshire 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.

Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sibford School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Historic houses near Sibford Ferris, such as Broughton Castle about 3.8 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Where a hall near Church of Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Sibford Ferris, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Leave it or put it right?

Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What you get with us

  • One number for every site across the South East and London
  • In business since 2009
  • CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
  • We are fully insured

Take a look at our cost guide or our accreditations and certificates.

Looking after it afterwards

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • Look for grease stains near the discharge
  • Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
  • Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
  • Don’t turn the fan off mid-service

File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.

A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
