About our extract fan cleaning in Aingers Green
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. If you’re dealing with burning smells from the fan area and a fan left out of previous cleans, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Aingers Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Questions from Aingers Green
Can you work in Aingers Green outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Aingers Green?
Aingers Green is in the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
A common cause is grease. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.

Kitchen extracts in Aingers Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Aingers Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Fire safety in Aingers Green falls to Essex County 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. Food hygiene inspections in Aingers Green are the job of Tendring council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Aingers Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Great Bentley Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Thorpe Hall is about 4.1 miles east), access may need planning.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Aingers Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work

What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Report grease escaping from the fan
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
How we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
