Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Sibford Gower
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you’ll get a fixed price, usually within one working day. If you’re dealing with rough running from the extract fan and grease escaping from the fan outlet, we can put it right, from centrifugal fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans onwards.
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.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
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.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Sibford Gower
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Broughton Castle is about 4 miles east), access may need planning.
Before you book anyone

- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they carry
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Sibford Gower
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Sibford Gower can be planned properly.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- 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.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Wiring faults to the fan
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Sibford Gower
Can school kitchens in Sibford Gower be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Sibford Gower, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Will you come out to Sibford Gower?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Sibford Gower included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
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.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Why deal with it now?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. If the system at a site near Sibford Gower fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Grease, kitchens and Sibford Gower
Kitchens in Sibford Gower get their food hygiene inspections from Cherwell council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Sibford Gower falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sibford Gower Endowed Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Sibford Gower, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
