How we handle extract fan cleaning in Temple
In Temple, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. Typical jobs include a fan left out of previous cleans and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, across roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and in-line fans.
For a kitchen in or near Temple, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

Temple kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 13 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Temple, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Temple is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Temple are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Harleyford Manor is about 0.9 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Marlow Community Hospital about 1.7 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bisham Church of England Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. In a small place like Temple, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Other services in Temple
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Temple and across Buckinghamshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Common questions in Temple
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Temple?
Temple is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Will you come out to Temple?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Temple is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and send you a fixed quote.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
