Extract fan cleaning in Broad Street Green
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that’s what we clean. The work covers centrifugal fans, axial fans and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are weak extraction at the canopy and grease escaping from the fan outlet.
Somewhere as small as Broad Street 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Common problems we fix in Broad Street Green
A greasy fan in Broad Street Green is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Broad Street Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, 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 most single fans. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Broad Street Green can be planned properly.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Extract fan cleaning around Broad Street Green
Broad Street Green is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Broad Street Green. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Broad Street Green sits within the area of 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.
For schools such as Heybridge Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Never cook with a filter missing
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
