Bedlar's Green extract fan cleaning
Looking for extract fan cleaning in Bedlar's Green? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and photos.

- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. In a small place like Bedlar's Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Bedlar's Green
We have been trading since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you are dealing with a fan that has never been cleaned and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Bedlar's Green, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Kitchen extracts in Bedlar's Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Bedlar's Green. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Bedlar's Green sits within the area of 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 Bedlar's Green are the job of Uttlesford council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that sounds rough in Bedlar's Green is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.

- Grease escaping from the fan outlet

Common questions in Bedlar's Green
Which fire service covers Bedlar's Green?
Bedlar's Green is in the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work in villages like Bedlar's Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
The fan follows the full system’s interval, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
