- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in The Village
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Rough running from the extract fan
St Leonard's Hill, about 1.7 miles north, is one of the historic houses near The Village; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Extract fan cleaning in The Village
In The Village, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers axial fans, centrifugal fans and in-line fans, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and thick grease on the impeller and casing.
For a kitchen in or near The Village, 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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Report rattles or humming early
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
For extract fan cleaning in The Village, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Extract fan cleaning in The Village: the local picture
The Village, about 24 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Kitchens in The Village get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to The Village is King Edward VII Hospital, about 2.3 miles north-east. School kitchens, at schools like Windsor Girls' School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
The Village is about 2 miles south of Windsor, in Windsor and Maidenhead. Across the SL4 area, we cover extract fan cleaning for commercial sites. The Village is one of 57 places in Windsor and Maidenhead we cover for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Guildford, roughly 14 miles from The Village.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that will not start

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in The Village
Can school kitchens in The Village be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of The Village. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in The Village?
That is Windsor and Maidenhead council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in The Village. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Every clean has a photo report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
What happens on the day
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 work begins, 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. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like The Village.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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.
