Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tadmarton
In Tadmarton, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you are dealing with a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can help, from in-line fans, fan housings and axial fans onwards.
Somewhere as small as Tadmarton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Tadmarton
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Tadmarton and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

Kitchen extracts in Tadmarton
The fire and rescue service for Tadmarton is 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. Environmental health officers from Cherwell council inspect food businesses in Tadmarton. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Tadmarton is Horton General Hospital, about 4 miles east. Broughton Castle, about 1.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Tadmarton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Tadmarton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Part by part
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
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.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.

What happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. The timing of a visit to Tadmarton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Common questions in Tadmarton
Can you come to Tadmarton after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Tadmarton needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Tadmarton?
The local authority for Tadmarton is Cherwell council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
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.
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. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
What happens if it’s left?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. 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 Tadmarton, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
