What extract fan cleaning looks like in Stonesfield
Kitchens in Stonesfield get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Stonesfield sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Stonesfield School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Blenheim Palace is about 3 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Extract fan cleaning in Stonesfield
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and you’ll get a fixed price, typically within one working day. If you have an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Stonesfield 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What else we do in Stonesfield
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Stonesfield rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Why book with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Never cook with a filter missing
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Stonesfield and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Common problems we fix in Stonesfield
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A heavily greased fan housing
Where a hall near Church of St James the Great, or anywhere in Stonesfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

FAQs for Stonesfield
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stonesfield?
Food hygiene inspections in Stonesfield are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire authority looks after Stonesfield?
Stonesfield is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
What affects the quote in Stonesfield
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
