Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broughton Crossing
If the extract fan in Broughton Crossing has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and you’ll get a fixed price, typically within one working day. The work covers roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan shaking on its mounts.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Broughton Crossing, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Why it’s worth doing now in Broughton Crossing
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. In a place like Broughton Crossing, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Broughton Crossing
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:

- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Report rattles or humming early
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
When to call us in Broughton Crossing
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A motor area thick with grease
Where a hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in Broughton Crossing, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
