About our extract fan cleaning in Stoke Lyne
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. Common call-outs are for a fan shaking on its mounts and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, on centrifugal fans, in-line fans and discharge points.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
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.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Why act early in Stoke Lyne
A fan clean in Stoke Lyne doesn’t take long: the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For extract fan cleaning in Stoke Lyne, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Stoke Lyne.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Stoke Lyne questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Stoke Lyne?
Stoke Lyne is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which council inspects kitchens in Stoke Lyne?
In Stoke Lyne, it’s Cherwell council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How long is a fan clean?
It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Your quote will give an idea.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.

What we are called out for in Stoke Lyne
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Stoke Lyne, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
