Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Weald
Can you work in Weald outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Weald can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in Weald?
In Weald, it’s West Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do we need to close while you work?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Weald
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. If you’re dealing with burning smells from the fan area and rough running from the extract fan, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Weald, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Weald and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Report rattles or humming early
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Weald kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Weald. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Weald. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Weald. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Weald, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bampton CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. The timing of a visit to Weald is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Why act early in Weald
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Fully insured
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures

When to call us in Weald
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Historic houses near Weald, such as Kelmscott Manor about 4.2 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What to look for in a quote
