Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Spelsbury
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. Typical jobs include a fan that no longer moves enough air and a fan left out of previous cleans, across fan housings, roof-mounted fans and discharge points.
For a kitchen in or near Spelsbury, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Spelsbury can be planned properly.
- 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.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
What staff can safely do
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. 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. That’s our job.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- Damaged fan blades
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
What affects the quote in Spelsbury
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

Other services in Spelsbury
Spelsbury questions
Do you cover smaller places like Spelsbury?
Yes, Spelsbury is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire authority looks after Spelsbury?
Fire safety enforcement in Spelsbury is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Why it’s worth doing now in Spelsbury
For a kitchen in Spelsbury, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Planning a trip to Spelsbury ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Kitchen extracts in Spelsbury
Food hygiene inspections in Spelsbury are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Spelsbury falls to 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.

Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Spelsbury, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
