How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Extract fan cleaning in Towersey
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. The work covers roof-mounted fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans, and people most often call us about a fan left out of previous cleans and vibration from an unbalanced impeller.
In a small place like Towersey, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Towersey questions
Which fire service covers Towersey?
Towersey is in the area of 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Towersey?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Towersey is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
An unbalanced impeller, usually 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. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Towersey
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A motor area thick with grease
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Catherine or anywhere around Towersey, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Towersey
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
