About our extract fan cleaning in Souldern
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Souldern, usually within one working day. We are often asked to deal with a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and burning smells from the fan area, on centrifugal fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans.
For a kitchen in or near Souldern, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Make sure the fan is included each time
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. In a small place like Souldern, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What affects the quote in Souldern
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Souldern
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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Souldern is Brackley Community Hospital, about 5.5 miles north-east.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they recommend a next date
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Souldern
Which fire service covers Souldern?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Souldern. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you work in Souldern outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Souldern needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and give you a fixed quote.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What else we do in Souldern
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that won’t start
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
