- Grease stains around the discharge
How we handle extract fan cleaning in South Leigh
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you’re dealing with grease around the motor and its mounts and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, we can put it right, from axial fans, fan housings and discharge points onwards.
In a small place like South Leigh, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

When to call us in South Leigh
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.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A motor area thick with grease
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around South Leigh (Minster Lovell Hall is about 4.6 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.

Why it’s worth doing now in South Leigh
A fan that sounds rough in South Leigh is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it typically is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. In a place like South Leigh, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Why book with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- Every visit written up, with photos
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Kitchen extracts in South Leigh
Fire safety in South Leigh falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. South Leigh is about 60 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St James, or anywhere in South Leigh, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What affects the quote in South Leigh
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that won’t start
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
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 a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in South Leigh before we set off.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
Questions from South Leigh
Can the work in South Leigh be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in South Leigh?
That’s West Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in South Leigh. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
