How we handle extract fan cleaning in White Waltham
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers fan housings, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are vibration from an unbalanced impeller and grease stains around the discharge.
Work in a small place like White Waltham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
When to call us in White Waltham
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Dorney Court is about 4.6 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Managing agents and facilities teams in White Waltham
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Report grease escaping from the fan
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to White Waltham and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one

White Waltham: your questions answered
Is White Waltham within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, White Waltham included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around White Waltham out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around White Waltham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 5 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
The fan follows the full system’s interval, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.

Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in White Waltham get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead 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.

Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
