Extract Fan Cleaning in Stoke Row
One call covers extract fan cleaning in Stoke Row: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, 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.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Stoke Row
Any fan serving a kitchen in Stoke Row 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. Common call-outs are for a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and thick grease on the impeller and casing, on fan housings, centrifugal fans and axial fans.
Work in a small place like Stoke Row 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Stoke Row
Do you work at weekends in Stoke Row?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Stoke Row?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stoke Row is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and send you a fixed quote.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Stoke Row run smoothly.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Kitchen extracts in Stoke Row
Stoke Row sits within the area of Oxfordshire 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. In Stoke Row, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Greys Court is about 2.7 miles east), access may need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Stoke Row Church of England School or anywhere near Stoke Row, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Stoke Row is about 6 miles north-west of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. Across the RG9 area, we cover extract fan cleaning for commercial sites. Across Oxfordshire, we cover 443 places, and Stoke Row is one of them. For sites nearby, see our Reading page, about 7 miles away.

When to call us in Stoke Row
A greasy fan in Stoke Row is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan that has never been cleaned
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Stoke Row, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

- A fan that will not start
