Extract fan cleaning in Wexham Court
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. We are often asked to deal with a smell of hot grease from the extract and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, across discharge points, centrifugal fans and in-line fans.
Somewhere as small as Wexham Court, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Wexham Court questions
Will you come out to Wexham Court?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wexham Court included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Wexham Court?
Fire safety enforcement in Wexham Court is handled by 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.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Wexham Court kitchens: local notes
There are about 49 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 36 sandwich bars and takeaways across Wexham Court and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. In Wexham Court, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Slough council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Wexham Court is covered by Royal Berkshire 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Windsor Castle is about 3.4 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Wexham Court, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. For a village or hamlet like Wexham Court, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Wexham Court?
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wexham School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of insurance
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
