Extract fan cleaning in Speenhamland, done properly
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. We’re often asked to deal with fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and burning smells from the fan area, across centrifugal fans, axial fans and in-line fans.
Around a smaller place like Speenhamland, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
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, with full insurance on top.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Speenhamland
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Why it’s worth doing now in Speenhamland
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. When a site near Speenhamland shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We plan the journey to Speenhamland and bring what the job is likely to need.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

FAQs for Speenhamland
Do you cover smaller places like Speenhamland?
Yes, Speenhamland is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can a school canteen extract in Speenhamland be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 9 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Speenhamland. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t start while we work. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll book around them.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. 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. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Speenhamland
How fast a fan gets greasy in Speenhamland depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Burning smells from the fan area
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Speenhamland School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Extract fan cleaning around Speenhamland
The Food Standards Agency lists about 27 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Speenhamland. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Speenhamland sits within the area of Royal Berkshire 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. Environmental health officers from West Berkshire council inspect food businesses in Speenhamland. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Nicolas Church or elsewhere in Speenhamland, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A kitchen near Newbury station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
