About our extract fan cleaning in Bentley
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. Common call-outs are for grease around the motor and its mounts and an extract fan with no cleaning record, on roof-mounted fans, axial fans and fan housings.
Work in a small place like Bentley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Extract fan cleaning around Bentley
The Food Standards Agency lists about 9 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Bentley. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Bentley is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Bentley get their food hygiene inspections from Brentwood council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Becket Keys Church of England School or anywhere near Bentley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Bentley
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it can’t be reached fully, the report says so.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Bentley
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bentley?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Bentley. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Bentley in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bentley. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
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.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, because it unbalances the fan. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Somewhere like Bentley, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Bentley
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Historic houses near Bentley, such as Hare Hall about 4.8 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
