Extract fan cleaning in Buttsbury, done properly
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you have grease escaping from the fan outlet and grease around the motor and its mounts, we can put it right, from in-line fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Buttsbury, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

FAQs for Buttsbury
Do you work in villages like Buttsbury?
Yes, Buttsbury is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Buttsbury?
Fire safety enforcement in Buttsbury is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and give you a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep records of every fan clean
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Buttsbury.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Buttsbury
Food Standards Agency records list about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Buttsbury. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Environmental health officers from Brentwood council inspect food businesses in Buttsbury. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Buttsbury falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Mayflower Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Buttsbury, about 2.1 miles south. For schools such as Brightside Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Ingatestone Hall is about 0.8 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
