About our extract fan cleaning in Stoke Poges
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you’ll get a fixed price, usually within one working day. Typical jobs include weak extraction at the canopy and a smell of hot grease from the extract, across roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points.
In a smaller place like Stoke Poges, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Tell us when your site near Stoke Poges is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Why deal with it now?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. In a smaller place like Stoke Poges, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Stoke Poges kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Stoke Poges. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Stoke Poges sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Stoke Poges are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Andrew's Church Centre or anywhere around Stoke Poges, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as The Stoke Poges School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Wexham Park Hospital is the nearest hospital to Stoke Poges, about 1 mile south-east.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Stoke Poges
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- 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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
