What extract fan cleaning looks like in Stadhampton
It’s South Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stadhampton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. About 46 miles out from central London, Stadhampton is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Stadhampton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Garsington Manor is about 2.5 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Stadhampton is about 6 miles south-east of Oxford, in Oxfordshire.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stadhampton
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. Common call-outs are for less air being pulled from the kitchen and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, on centrifugal fans, in-line fans and discharge points.
Somewhere as small as Stadhampton, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
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.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Damaged fan blades
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on in Stadhampton
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. The timing of a visit to Stadhampton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Somewhere as small as Stadhampton, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Why us?
- We are fully insured

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Stadhampton
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Weak extraction at the canopy
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Stadhampton Primary School or anywhere near Stadhampton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Stadhampton
Which fire authority looks after Stadhampton?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Stadhampton. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work in villages like Stadhampton?
Yes, Stadhampton is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
