Sprig's Alley: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Sprig's Alley?
The local authority for Sprig's Alley is Buckinghamshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire authority looks after Sprig's Alley?
That’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you work in Sprig's Alley?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Sprig's Alley included.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Sprig's Alley
In Sprig's Alley, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you have a fan that no longer moves enough air and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Sprig's Alley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Sprig's Alley
Kitchens in Sprig's Alley get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Sprig's Alley is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Sprig's Alley is Thame Community Hospital, about 5.6 miles north-west. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Sprig's Alley (Adwell House is about 4.4 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
Sprig's Alley is about 6 miles south-east of Thame, in Oxfordshire.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
What affects the quote in Sprig's Alley
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
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.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Damaged fan blades
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
