About our extract fan cleaning in Wooburn Green
If the extract fan in Wooburn Green has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Wooburn Green, usually within one working day. We are often asked to deal with a fan that no longer moves enough air and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, across axial fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans.
Around a smaller place like Wooburn Green, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In a smaller place like Wooburn Green, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep access to the fan clear
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Common problems we fix in Wooburn Green
How fast a fan gets greasy in Wooburn Green depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan left out of previous cleans
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Pastoral Centre, or anywhere in Wooburn Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Grease, kitchens and Wooburn Green

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Wooburn Green falls to 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. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wooburn Green. 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.

Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Questions from Wooburn Green
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Wooburn Green in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Wooburn Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 6 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Will you come out to Wooburn Green?
Yes, Wooburn Green is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
