Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bedmond
Any fan serving a kitchen in Bedmond is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. We are often asked to deal with an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and grease escaping from the fan outlet, across centrifugal fans, fan housings and in-line fans.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, 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
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Bedmond and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Bedmond
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Burning smells from the fan area
School kitchens, at schools like Bedmond Academy for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Bedmond
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Bedmond
Can you come to Bedmond after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Bedmond does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Bedmond?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bedmond is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
How long is a fan clean?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.

Bedmond kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 14 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 9 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Bedmond. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Kitchens in Bedmond get their food hygiene inspections from Three Rivers council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Bedmond is Hertfordshire 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.
Historic houses near Bedmond, such as High Elms Manor about 1.5 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Where a hall near Church of the Ascension, or anywhere in Bedmond, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep records of every fan clean
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
