Our extract fan cleaning service in Hertfordshire

Any fan serving a kitchen in Hertfordshire is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. Common call-outs are for fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and thick grease on the impeller and casing, across in-line fans, axial fans and fan housings.

Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.

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.
We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.

What you’ll pay

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Landmarks near Watford

In Watford, that means kitchens and buildings near The Estcourt Arms, Watford St John's Church of England Primary School and Church of St Andrew. Nearby too are Cassiobury Park (0.8 miles west) and The Watford UTC (0.5 miles east). Watford has its own railway station: Watford Junction station. A little further out are Hilfield Castle (2.8 miles east) and Charter Place (0.5 miles south). Open spaces near Watford include Harrow Weald Common.

Where we work in Hertfordshire

Kitchens across Hertfordshire cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.

From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in Hertfordshire and beyond.

Watford: Commuter trade near Watford Junction station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Watford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Leave it or put it right?

Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning

We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:

Parking and loading at the site
Any permits to work or inductions
The scale of the work
How easy every part is to reach

No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What we need to know

What to send for a quote:

A few general shots of the system
Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Any access panels or hatches you can see
Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

If you need extract fan cleaning in Hertfordshire, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.

Part by part

Impellers and blades

Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.

Kitchens with long cooking hours

A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Honest limits

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

A faulty speed controller or isolator
A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
An impeller that’s bent or split

Hertfordshire questions

Where does the waste go?

It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.

What do you do to protect the area?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

What if the fan needs more than a clean?

A clean will not mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.

How long will it take to clean the fan?

That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.

What does TR19 mean?

A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.

How much notice do you need?

The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
