Questions from Tiddington
Can you come to Tiddington after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Tiddington needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire authority looks after Tiddington?
Fire safety enforcement in Tiddington is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Every clean has a photo report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
An unbalanced impeller, usually from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
About our extract fan cleaning in Tiddington
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. Common call-outs are for a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and a fan that has never been cleaned, across in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
If you need extract fan cleaning in Tiddington, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Why deal with it now?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. If the system at a site near Tiddington fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Grease, kitchens and Tiddington
There are about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tiddington, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Tiddington are the job of South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Tiddington is covered by Oxfordshire 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Helen or elsewhere in Tiddington, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Historic houses near Tiddington, such as Adwell House about 4.5 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Tiddington is Thame Community Hospital, about 3.9 miles east.

What happens on the day
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. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Tiddington can be planned properly.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
