How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like Upton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Upton
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Typical jobs include rough running from the extract fan and grease around the motor and its mounts, across axial fans, centrifugal fans and in-line fans.
In a village or hamlet like Upton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What affects the quote in Upton
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Why act early in Upton
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. A fault that closes a site in a village like Upton affects everyone who depends on it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Leave a clear route to the fan
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Common questions in Upton
Can you work in Upton outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Upton doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who inspects food businesses in Upton?
Kitchens in Upton are inspected by Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How long is a fan clean?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A motor that has burnt out
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
