Do you need extract fan cleaning in Windsor?
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Windsor as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Rough running from the extract fan
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints Church, or anywhere in Windsor, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Extract fan cleaning in Windsor, done properly
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. We are often asked to deal with grease stains around the discharge and a motor area thick with grease, across in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans.
Many kitchens in a town like Windsor were fitted into buildings built for something else, so duct runs can be awkward, with bends, long horizontal sections and too few access panels. Where the duct cannot be reached, new panels can be fitted, and anything left uncleaned is recorded on the report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A closed day, an evening or an early start: whichever suits your site in Windsor, we’ll book around it.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A fan that won’t start
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
Why act early in Windsor
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. Grease, dust and wear all build up with time.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Extract fan cleaning around Windsor
The Food Standards Agency lists about 33 pubs and bars and about 12 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses in and around Windsor, 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. Kitchens in Windsor get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Windsor 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as King Edward VII Hospital (about 0.8 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Windsor (St Leonard's Hill is about 1 mile south-west), fitting access panels needs care.

Windsor: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Windsor?
That’s Windsor and Maidenhead council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Windsor. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Windsor?
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Windsor. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, where it makes sense. We’ll often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan typically means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Is Windsor in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Windsor included.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
