How extract fan cleaning works in Thurrock

Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. Common call-outs are for grease around the motor and its mounts and weak extraction at the canopy, across roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.

Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
Once isolated, we open the fan up.
The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.

How we quote

The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Extract fan cleaning across Thurrock: local notes

Our extract fan cleaning work across Thurrock takes in places such as Stanford-le-Hope, Grays and South Ockendon and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for Thurrock, 26 in all, with cleans booked around trading hours.

Thurrock is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote. Along the coast in Thurrock, many hotels, pubs and cafés are at their busiest in the summer, so it pays to book work around the busy season.

Stanford-le-Hope: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Basildon University Hospital about 2.5 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Stanford-le-Hope, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

When something else is needed

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

A motor that has burnt out
An impeller that’s bent or split
Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)

How we price extract fan cleaning

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Where the site is and how we reach it
When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Whether several sites go on one quote

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.

Helping us quote

To help us quote quickly, send us:

The site address and the type of premises
The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Problems your staff have spotted

To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Thurrock

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Different parts, different methods

Inline duct fans

Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing after isolating them.

Fan housings and motors

Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.

Aftercare tips

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:

Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
Leave a clear route to the fan
Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
Note any drop in extraction at the canopy

When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.

Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

Common questions in Thurrock

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.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.

Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?

Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.

What do you do to protect the area?

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

Why is my extract fan noisy?

Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.

How much notice do you need?

That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
