Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Butt's Green
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you are dealing with thick grease on the impeller and casing and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Butt's Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why act early in Butt's Green
Cleaning the fan in Butt's Green now is a short job: it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Butt's Green is calmer for everyone.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- A written report with photos after every visit
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Butt's Green
Will you come out to Butt's Green?
Yes, Butt's Green is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Butt's Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Butt's Green needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
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.
Kitchen extracts in Butt's Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Butt's Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Butt's Green is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Butt's Green get their food hygiene inspections from Chelmsford council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Baddow Hospital about 1.8 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Historic houses near Butt's Green, such as Danbury Place about 1.1 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What else we do in Butt's Green
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Butt's Green
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Sandon School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether VAT is included
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Butt's Green knowing what to expect.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
