West End Green extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning in West End Green, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and pictures. Call for a fixed quote.
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Report rattles or humming early
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in West End Green
In West End Green, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. If you’re dealing with weak extraction at the canopy and a heavily greased fan housing, we can put it right, from discharge points, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.

West End Green questions
Can you work in West End Green outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in West End Green can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in West End Green?
That is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them 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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Grease, kitchens and West End Green
West End Green sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in West End Green get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to West End Green is Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 5.6 miles south-west.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. In a small place like West End Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Berkshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Why us?
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- We diagnose before we treat

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in West End Green
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Burning smells from the fan area
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
