What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Waddesdon
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. The work covers axial fans, fan housings and discharge points, and people most often call us about hot, greasy smells near the fan and an extract fan with no cleaning record.
In a village or hamlet like Waddesdon, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Waddesdon
Look up Waddesdon on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Waddesdon and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Waddesdon. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Waddesdon. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Waddesdon is St John's Hospital, about 3.5 miles south-east. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Waddesdon Village Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What else we do in Waddesdon
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Waddesdon and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Waddesdon. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?

Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.

It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
