Extract fan cleaning in Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire
One call covers extract fan cleaning in Stanton Harcourt: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A motor area thick with grease
- A heavily greased fan housing
The process
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 before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Visits to a village like Stanton Harcourt are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote

Extract fan cleaning in Stanton Harcourt
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. We are often asked to deal with an extract fan with no cleaning record and a motor area thick with grease, across fan housings, centrifugal fans and in-line fans.
Work in a small place like Stanton Harcourt starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Damaged fan blades
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in Stanton Harcourt
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Stanton Harcourt?
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A heavily greased fan housing
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Michael or anywhere around Stanton Harcourt, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether a survey comes first
Why it’s worth doing now in Stanton Harcourt
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Stanton Harcourt is calmer for everyone.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Stanton Harcourt questions
Do you cover smaller places like Stanton Harcourt?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stanton Harcourt is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Stanton Harcourt outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Stanton Harcourt does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we’ll explain it and give you a fixed quote.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
