Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broad Green
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are a fan that has never been cleaned and a fan shaking on its mounts.
Somewhere as small as Broad Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

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.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

What else we do in Broad Green
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
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 whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
What happens if it’s left?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Common questions in Broad Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Broad Green?
Kitchens in Broad Green are inspected by Colchester council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you get to a site in Broad Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Broad Green included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll plan the visit around them.
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.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Extract fan cleaning in Broad Green: the local picture
Broad Green is about 44 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Broad Green is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
School kitchens, at schools like Honywood Community Science School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Where a hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in Broad Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Broad Green (Layer Marney Tower is about 4.6 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Broad Green is about 6 miles south-east of Halstead, in Essex. Anywhere in CO6, we can carry out extract fan cleaning at your premises. Broad Green is one of 644 places in Essex where we work for commercial clients. For sites nearby, see our Chelmsford page, about 14 miles away.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
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 make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Damaged fan blades
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Broad Green.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
