Extract fan cleaning in Wytham, done properly
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. Typical jobs include weak extraction at the canopy and grease escaping from the fan outlet, on in-line fans, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans.
Somewhere as small as Wytham, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, 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.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Common problems we fix in Wytham
A fan in Wytham builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Oxford Academy or anywhere near Wytham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wytham
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Wytham rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What you get with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

FAQs for Wytham
Which fire service covers Wytham?
Fire safety enforcement in Wytham is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Wytham?
That is Oxford City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wytham. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Do you cover Wytham?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Wytham included.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will plan the visit around them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
The fan follows the full system’s interval at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Somewhere like Wytham, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system

Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Wytham is covered by Oxfordshire 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. Kitchens in Wytham get their food hygiene inspections from Oxford City council.
