What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Extract fan cleaning in Woosehill, done properly
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. We are often asked to deal with thick grease on the impeller and casing and hot, greasy smells near the fan, on centrifugal fans, in-line fans and fan housings.
Around a smaller place like Woosehill, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Leave it or put it right?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. A planned visit to Woosehill fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Kitchens in Woosehill get their food hygiene inspections from Wokingham council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Woosehill 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.

Woosehill questions
Is Woosehill within the area you cover?
Yes. Woosehill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Woosehill outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
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 many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Woosehill?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Part by part
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.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Report rattles or humming early
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Everything the job in Woosehill needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
Common problems we fix in Woosehill
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan shaking on its mounts
Church and community hall kitchens, near Woosehill Community Church or anywhere around Woosehill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A fan that won’t start
