Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stoke Hammond
Any fan serving a kitchen in Stoke Hammond is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. Typical jobs include a noisy fan that has got louder over time and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, on axial fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points.
Somewhere as small as Stoke Hammond, 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, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stoke Hammond
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. A fault that closes a site in a village like Stoke Hammond affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why us?
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- A fixed price before any work starts
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan that will not start
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

Common questions in Stoke Hammond
Who is the fire and rescue service for Stoke Hammond?
Fire safety enforcement in Stoke Hammond is handled by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stoke Hammond?
Kitchens in Stoke Hammond are inspected by Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
When to call us in Stoke Hammond
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Stoke Hammond (Bletchley Park is about 3.1 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Kitchen extracts in Stoke Hammond
There are about 4 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Stoke Hammond, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Stoke Hammond. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Stoke Hammond is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sir Herbert Leon Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Luke or elsewhere in Stoke Hammond, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere like Stoke Hammond, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
