Extract fan cleaning in Broomfield, Essex
One call covers extract fan cleaning in Broomfield: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Grease stains around the discharge
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Never cook with a filter missing
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Extract fan cleaning in Broomfield, done properly
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and you’ll get a fixed price, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include a heavily greased fan housing and a fan that no longer moves enough air, on roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and in-line fans.
In a smaller place like Broomfield, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Broomfield
Who inspects food businesses in Broomfield?
Food hygiene inspections in Broomfield are carried out by Chelmsford council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Broomfield during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 7 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Broomfield, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Everything the job in Broomfield needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- 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
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Extract fan cleaning around Broomfield
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 21 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 7 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Broomfield. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Kitchens in Broomfield get their food hygiene inspections from Chelmsford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Broomfield is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Broomfield Hospital is the nearest hospital to Broomfield, about within half a mile north-west. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hylands is about 4.5 miles south), access may need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Chelmer Valley High School or anywhere near Broomfield, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Why it’s worth doing now in Broomfield
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. A site near Broomfield that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
