Stubbings: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Stubbings?
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Stubbings. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stubbings?
Food hygiene inspections in Stubbings are carried out by Windsor and Maidenhead council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stubbings
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. Typical jobs include less air being pulled from the kitchen and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, across fan housings, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans.
In a small place like Stubbings, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- File the fan’s report with your other records
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.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A motor that has burnt out
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Stubbings
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
For extract fan cleaning in Stubbings, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Stubbings, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Stubbings
There are about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops in Stubbings and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor.

An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Stubbings falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Stubbings as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Stubbings is St Mark's Hospital, about 1.4 miles east.
