Extract fan cleaning in Bardfield End Green
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you have grease stains around the discharge and a smell of hot grease from the extract, we can put it right.
In a small place like Bardfield End Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Bardfield End Green run smoothly.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.

Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Check filters are seated before cooking
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

FAQs for Bardfield End Green
Which council inspects kitchens in Bardfield End Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Bardfield End Green are carried out by Uttlesford council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work at weekends in Bardfield End Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Bardfield End Green needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it cannot run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:

Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Why act early in Bardfield End Green
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. A fault that closes a site in a village like Bardfield End Green affects everyone who depends on it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Common problems we fix in Bardfield End Green
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
School kitchens, at schools like Thaxted Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
