About our extract fan cleaning in Stanford Dingley
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that’s what we clean. The work covers axial fans, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about a heavily greased fan housing and less air being pulled from the kitchen.
Work in a small place like Stanford Dingley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Stanford Dingley
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
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 you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Stanford Dingley, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that sounds rough in Stanford Dingley is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it usually is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. In a small place like Stanford Dingley, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A fan that won’t start
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

Questions from Stanford Dingley
Will you come out to Stanford Dingley?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stanford Dingley is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Stanford Dingley?
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Stanford Dingley. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Stanford Dingley?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan usually means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. Some fans need attention sooner.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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 do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep access to the fan clear
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
