Wroxton extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning across Wroxton and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Extract fan cleaning in Wroxton, done properly
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. The work covers discharge points, centrifugal fans and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a motor area thick with grease and a heavily greased fan housing.
Work in a small place like Wroxton 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.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Questions from Wroxton
Do you cover smaller places like Wroxton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can school kitchens in Wroxton be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Wroxton. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
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.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Every clean has a photo report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on in Wroxton
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere like Wroxton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Wroxton?
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Horton General Hospital (about 2.9 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a survey comes first
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Wroxton kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Wroxton. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Wroxton falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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. Environmental health officers from Cherwell council inspect food businesses in Wroxton. 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.
For schools such as Wroxton Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
