How we price extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Brandy Hole
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. Typical jobs include a fan that has never been cleaned and a fan shaking on its mounts, on fan housings, axial fans and discharge points.
In a village or hamlet like Brandy Hole, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Visits to a village like Brandy Hole are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

When to call us in Brandy Hole
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Where a hall near St Thomas' Church, or anywhere in Brandy Hole, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
FAQs for Brandy Hole
Who inspects food businesses in Brandy Hole?
That’s Rochford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Brandy Hole. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Brandy Hole?
Brandy Hole is in the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What does TR19 mean?
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, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Leave a clear route to the fan
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
