Extract fan cleaning in Brownbread Street
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. We’re often asked to deal with burning smells from the fan area and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, on in-line fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points.
In a village or hamlet like Brownbread Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
What we are called out for in Brownbread Street
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
A hospital like Amberstone Hospital, about 5.2 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. In a small place like Brownbread Street, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
