Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Warren Row
Can you work in Warren Row outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Warren Row can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Warren Row?
In Warren Row, it’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Extract fan cleaning in Warren Row
Any fan serving a kitchen in Warren Row is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you have a noisy fan that has got louder over time and a motor area thick with grease, we can put it right, from fan housings, discharge points and in-line fans onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Warren Row, 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. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- Wiring faults to the fan
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
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 we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a small place like Warren Row, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Grease, kitchens and Warren Row
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Warren Row and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Warren Row sits within the area of Royal Berkshire 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. In Warren Row, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Knowl Hill Church of England Primary Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hospital like St Mark's Hospital, about 3.5 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Different parts, different methods
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.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Warren Row?
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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Paul's Mission Church or anywhere around Warren Row, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
