How we handle extract fan cleaning in Steeple Claydon
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. Common call-outs are for grease escaping from the fan outlet and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, across in-line fans, axial fans and fan housings.
Around a smaller place like Steeple Claydon, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Why deal with it now?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. A site near Steeple Claydon that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
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 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
FAQs for Steeple Claydon
Which fire service covers Steeple Claydon?
Fire safety enforcement in Steeple Claydon is handled by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you cover smaller places like Steeple Claydon?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Steeple Claydon is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you accredited?
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.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
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.
Common problems we fix in Steeple Claydon
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Steeple Claydon (Claydon House is about 1.6 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If they look at the system before pricing
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Visits to a place like Steeple Claydon are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Grease, kitchens and Steeple Claydon
Kitchens in Steeple Claydon get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Steeple Claydon sits within the area of Buckinghamshire 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Michael or elsewhere in Steeple Claydon, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Steeple Claydon is Buckingham Community Hospital, about 4.5 miles north.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: 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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
