About our extract fan cleaning in Woodlands St Mary
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are a heavily greased fan housing and a fan that has never been cleaned.
In a small place like Woodlands St Mary, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are 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.

Woodlands St Mary questions
Do you work at weekends in Woodlands St Mary?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Woodlands St Mary can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is Woodlands St Mary within the area you cover?
Yes, Woodlands St Mary is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Woodlands St Mary.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Report grease escaping from the fan
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Woodlands St Mary
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
When to call us in Woodlands St Mary
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan left out of previous cleans
Whether the kitchen is in Woodlands St Mary itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
