Extract fan cleaning in Slough Green, done properly
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 the survey shows us how to reach it. Typical jobs include a fan that no longer moves enough air and rough running from the extract fan, on fan housings, in-line fans and discharge points.
In a village or hamlet like Slough Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Questions from Slough Green
Which council inspects kitchens in Slough Green?
In Slough Green, it’s Mid Sussex council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you get to a site in Slough Green?
Yes. Slough Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
A common cause is grease. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
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.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Never cook with a filter missing
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.

Other services in Slough Green
Kitchen extracts in Slough Green
There are about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Slough Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. In Slough Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mid Sussex 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. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Slough Green. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Slough Green is The Dene Hospital, about 3.7 miles south.

What we’re called out for in Slough Green
A greasy fan in Slough Green is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
For schools such as Warden Park School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
