Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. We clean them where they can be safely reached, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tetsworth
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. Common call-outs are for grease escaping from the fan outlet and a smell of hot grease from the extract, across in-line fans, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans.
Work in a small place like Tetsworth starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for most single fans. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Tetsworth before we set 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.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Kitchen extracts in Tetsworth
Tetsworth sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. At about 42 miles from central London, Tetsworth sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Tetsworth (Adwell House is about 1.4 miles south), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near Church of St Giles, or anywhere in Tetsworth, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Parts of the system we cover
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Never cook with a filter missing
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Questions from Tetsworth
Do you work in villages like Tetsworth?
Yes. Tetsworth is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in Tetsworth be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Tetsworth does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Before and after pictures go into a report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Tetsworth?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
An unbalanced impeller, typically from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When to call us in Tetsworth
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Burning smells from the fan area
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Thame Community Hospital about 2.8 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
