Extract fan cleaning in Three Oaks
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. The work covers centrifugal fans, in-line fans and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are grease escaping from the fan outlet and less air being pulled from the kitchen.
Somewhere as small as Three Oaks, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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, next to our reports.
Why it’s worth doing now in Three Oaks
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Three Oaks is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Three Oaks
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Laurence's Church or elsewhere in Three Oaks, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Damaged fan blades
