Extract fan cleaning in Broadley Common, done properly
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. If you are dealing with a noisy fan that has got louder over time and grease around the motor and its mounts, we can help, from in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Broadley Common, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

FAQs for Broadley Common
Do you cover smaller places like Broadley Common?
Yes, Broadley Common is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Broadley Common?
In Broadley Common, it’s Epping Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
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 on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.

What else we do in Broadley Common
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere as small as Broadley Common, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Damaged fan blades
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- In-line fans

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Broadley Common?
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan left out of previous cleans
For schools such as Water Lane Primary Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

The fire and rescue service for Broadley Common is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
