- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Rough running from the extract fan
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near West Hanney rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why us?
- We diagnose before we treat
- Trading since 2009
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Fully insured

Extract fan cleaning in West Hanney
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you are dealing with grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to West Hanney can be planned properly.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload

West Hanney kitchens: local notes
We cover West Hanney, about 57 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Food hygiene inspections in West Hanney are the job of Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St James Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in West Hanney, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem 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.
Common problems we fix in West Hanney
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Burning smells from the fan area
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to West Hanney is Abingdon Community Hospital, about 5.4 miles north-east.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Questions from West Hanney
Which fire service covers West Hanney?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers West Hanney. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come to West Hanney after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in West Hanney does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
The fan follows the full system’s interval at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Do you cover West Hanney?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes West Hanney.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
