Extract fan cleaning in Weedon
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that is what we clean. The work covers roof-mounted fans, axial fans and centrifugal fans, and people most often call us about grease around the motor and its mounts and weak extraction at the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like Weedon, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A motor that has burnt out
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the quote in Weedon
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Weedon questions
Can you work in Weedon outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you get to a site in Weedon?
Yes. Weedon is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere as small as Weedon, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Weedon kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Weedon. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Weedon. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Weedon are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Tindal Centre is the nearest hospital to Weedon, about 2.4 miles south. For schools such as Old School Room Chapel, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
Common problems we fix in Weedon
A greasy fan in Weedon is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Old School Room Chapel, or anywhere in Weedon, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
