Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bridge Green
We have been trading since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have weak extraction at the canopy and grease escaping from the fan outlet, we can help, from axial fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Bridge Green.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Bridge Green
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Report rattles or humming early
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Bridge Green
How fast a fan gets greasy in Bridge Green depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bridge Green is Saffron Walden Community Hospital, about 5.4 miles east.

Grease, kitchens and Bridge Green
At about 37 miles from central London, Bridge Green sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in Bridge Green get their food hygiene inspections from Uttlesford council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Hamlet Church or anywhere around Bridge Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Audley End House, about 3.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Bridge Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Bridge Green is about 5 miles west of Saffron Walden, in Essex. Wherever you are in the CB11 postcode area, we cover extract fan cleaning for commercial sites. We cover 644 places across Essex, large and small. For sites nearby, see our Chelmsford page (24 miles or so).

Around Bridge Green

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Bridge Green: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Bridge Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bridge Green included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Bridge Green after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Bridge Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
