Extract Fan Cleaning in Brantham
Extract fan cleaning for Brantham, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
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.
Extract fan cleaning in Brantham
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you are dealing with grease around the motor and its mounts and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can put it right, from fan housings, in-line fans and centrifugal fans onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Brantham, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Brantham can be planned properly.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Common questions in Brantham
Can you work in Brantham outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Brantham does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you come out to Brantham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Brantham included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
A clean won’t mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks in BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

What else we do in Brantham
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Brantham
The coast is only about 1 mile from Brantham. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s data shows about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in Brantham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Brantham. 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Brooklands Primary School or anywhere near Brantham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Castle House is about 3.2 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Brantham
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
What we are most often called out for:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A heavily greased fan housing
Where a hall near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Brantham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What affects the quote in Brantham
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. In a place like Brantham, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
