Extract fan cleaning in Bradwell on Sea
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers in-line fans, axial fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are a noisy fan that has got louder over time and thick grease on the impeller and casing.
Somewhere as small as Bradwell on Sea, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Report rattles or humming early
- Check filters are seated before cooking
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for most single fans, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like Bradwell on Sea, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Common problems we fix in Bradwell on Sea
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 around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Burning smells from the fan area
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Cedd's Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Bradwell on Sea questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Bradwell on Sea?
Food hygiene inspections in Bradwell on Sea are carried out by Maldon council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you come to Bradwell on Sea after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Bradwell on Sea doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How much notice should we give?
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.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after pictures go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning the fan in Bradwell on Sea now is a short job: the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. With notice, the visit to Bradwell on Sea can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
