How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Coggeshall Hamlet
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. Typical jobs include a fan that has never been cleaned and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, on centrifugal fans, axial fans and in-line fans.
Somewhere as small as Coggeshall Hamlet, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Coggeshall Hamlet.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit

Grease, kitchens and Coggeshall Hamlet
Food Standards Agency data counts about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Coggeshall Hamlet. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Coggeshall Hamlet is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Coggeshall Hamlet get their food hygiene inspections from Braintree council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Coggeshall Hamlet, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Questions from Coggeshall Hamlet
Which fire service covers Coggeshall Hamlet?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Coggeshall Hamlet. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you come to Coggeshall Hamlet after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Coggeshall Hamlet does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Coggeshall Hamlet
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What we’re called out for in Coggeshall Hamlet

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
For schools such as Honywood Community Science School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
