Extract fan cleaning in Weston-on-the-Green: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Weston-on-the-Green. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Weston-on-the-Green. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Weston-on-the-Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Cherwell council. 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Weston-on-the-Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Weston-on-the-Green
We’ve been trading since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers discharge points, fan housings and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are hot, greasy smells near the fan and vibration from an unbalanced impeller.
Somewhere as small as Weston-on-the-Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, 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 the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Report grease escaping from the fan
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.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Wiring faults to the fan
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Weston-on-the-Green
- Roof-mounted fans

For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
When to call us in Weston-on-the-Green
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Bicester Community Hospital about 3.7 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Somewhere as small as Weston-on-the-Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Weston-on-the-Green
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
