Extract fan cleaning in Tattenhoe
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Typical jobs include burning smells from the fan area and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, across fan housings, centrifugal fans and in-line fans.
For a smaller kitchen near Tattenhoe, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The report is your 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 and sits alongside the report.

Part by part
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Kitchen extracts in Tattenhoe
The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tattenhoe. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Tattenhoe, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Milton Keynes council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Tattenhoe. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Giles's Church, or anywhere in Tattenhoe, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like Giles Brook Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Bletchley Park is about 2.1 miles east), access may need planning.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off.

- 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.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

What else we do in Tattenhoe
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Tattenhoe
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Damaged fan blades
- Wiring faults to the fan
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

Tattenhoe: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Tattenhoe?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Will you come out to Tattenhoe?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Tattenhoe included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
How long is a fan clean?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
