Extract fan cleaning in South Newington
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. Common call-outs are for a fan coated in grease inside its housing and rough running from the extract fan, on fan housings, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans.
For a kitchen in or near South Newington, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it 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 Newington before we set off.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
Why act early in South Newington
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. It’s simpler to plan the work at South Newington now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Kitchen extracts in South Newington
South Newington sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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. Food hygiene inspections in South Newington are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Horton General Hospital (about 5 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Peter ad Vincula or anywhere around South Newington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
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.
What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in South Newington
Can you come to South Newington after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can you get to a site in South Newington?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and South Newington is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What we are called out for in South Newington
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around South Newington (Broughton Castle is about 3.1 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.
