Extract fan cleaning in Canvey Island, Essex
Extract fan cleaning for Canvey Island, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A heavily greased fan housing
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Canvey Island
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you will get a fixed price, usually within one working day. Common call-outs are for thick grease on the impeller and casing and an extract fan with no cleaning record, on discharge points, in-line fans and axial fans.
In a town like Canvey Island, most of the kitchen extracts we’re asked about belong to restaurants, cafés, pubs, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease, and each is cleaned to the same TR19® standard.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
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 do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Let us know how to reach the roof or plant area at your site in Canvey Island, and where the van can go.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Kitchen extracts in Canvey Island
The coast is only about 1 mile from Canvey Island. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 45 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 38 takeaways in Canvey Island and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Environmental health officers from Castle Point council inspect food businesses in Canvey Island. 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Canvey Island is Chartwell Private Hospital, about 2.9 miles north-east. School kitchens, at schools like St Josephs Catholic Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Nicholas or elsewhere in Canvey Island, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Why it’s worth doing now in Canvey Island
For a kitchen in Canvey Island, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it typically is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. With a fire risk assessment or inspection due, getting the work done first puts you on the front foot.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Canvey Island
Which environmental health team covers Canvey Island?
The local authority for Canvey Island is Castle Point council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Canvey Island?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Canvey Island. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
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 you keep your normal hours.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
