Extract fan cleaning in Cold Brayfield, done properly
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you’re dealing with less air being pulled from the kitchen and a smell of hot grease from the extract, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Common questions in Cold Brayfield
Can the work in Cold Brayfield be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Cold Brayfield keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can a school canteen extract in Cold Brayfield be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Cold Brayfield, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
How long is a fan clean?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.

What else we do in Cold Brayfield
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Never cook with a filter missing
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
How we price extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
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 to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Cold Brayfield.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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 photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A fan that won’t start
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Cold Brayfield rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Fully insured
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- A fixed price before any work starts
