Extract fan cleaning in Tubney, Oxfordshire
Extract fan cleaning across Tubney and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Burning smells from the fan area
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. For a village or hamlet like Tubney, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Tubney
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that’s what we clean. If you are dealing with a smell of hot grease from the extract and grease around the motor and its mounts, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Kitchen extracts in Tubney
Tubney sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Tubney is about 56 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Appleton Manor, about 1.6 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Tubney; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Where a hall near Church of St Lawrence, or anywhere in Tubney, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Abingdon Community Hospital, about 3.1 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Why deal with it now?
Cleaning the fan in Tubney now is a short job: it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Tubney rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Tubney
Who is the fire and rescue service for Tubney?
Tubney is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which environmental health team covers Tubney?
Food hygiene inspections in Tubney are carried out by Vale of White Horse council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will book around them.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. 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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
