Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. Planning a trip to Bull's Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What you get with us
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Fully insured
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

Extract fan cleaning in Bull's Green
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and axial fans, and people most often call us about fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and grease around the motor and its mounts.
In a small place like Bull's Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Bull's Green?
A fan in Bull's Green builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bull's Green is Hertford County Hospital, about 4.2 miles south-east.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When the next visit should be, and why

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Make sure the fan is included each time
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Bull's Green

Common questions in Bull's Green
Can the work in Bull's Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Bull's Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire service covers Bull's Green?
That’s Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere as small as Bull's Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
