Extract fan cleaning in Water Oakley, Windsor and Maidenhead

Different parts, different methods

Roof-mounted fans

Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.

Impellers and blades

The blades of the impeller do the work, and grease builds up on them unevenly. That is what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Grease, kitchens and Water Oakley

According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Water Oakley. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Water Oakley falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Water Oakley get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Dorney Court is about 0.9 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like King Edward VII Hospital about 2.8 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Braywood CofE First School or anywhere near Water Oakley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
