For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in West Wycombe
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. If you have a fan coated in grease inside its housing and an extract fan with no cleaning record, we can put it right.
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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Common problems we fix in West Wycombe
A fan in West Wycombe builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A heavily greased fan housing
West Wycombe Park House, about 0.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses near West Wycombe; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in West Wycombe
Can you get to a site in West Wycombe?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, West Wycombe included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in West Wycombe outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in West Wycombe keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
What 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. You get a fixed price before we start.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
West Wycombe kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses in and around West Wycombe, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. West Wycombe is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in West Wycombe are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to West Wycombe is Wycombe Hospital, about 2.4 miles south-east. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Congregational Church, or anywhere in West Wycombe, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to West Wycombe can be planned properly.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
