About our extract fan cleaning in Stony Green
In Stony Green, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers fan housings, in-line fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are vibration from an unbalanced impeller and grease escaping from the fan outlet.
In a village or hamlet like Stony Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Wiring faults to the fan
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Why act early in Stony Green
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. Somewhere as small as Stony Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for most single fans. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Stony Green, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- 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.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote

Advice
How we price extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
Extract fan cleaning around Stony Green
Look up Stony Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Stony Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stony Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Stony Green is covered by Buckinghamshire 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Prestwood Junior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Stony Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chiltern Hospital about 2.5 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Common questions in Stony Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stony Green?
In Stony Green, it’s Buckinghamshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Stony Green?
Stony Green is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
