How we handle extract fan cleaning in Burton End
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, 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. Typical jobs include a noisy fan that has got louder over time and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, on fan housings, axial fans and discharge points.
Work in a small place like Burton End starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Burton End questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Burton End?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Burton End. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you come to Burton End after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Burton End can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Burton End.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t 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.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep records of every fan clean
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Burton End, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it usually is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. Somewhere as small as Burton End, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Burton End?
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary the Virgin's Church or anywhere around Burton End, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate

- Whether they recommend a next date

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
