Questions from Crow's Green
Do you cover smaller places like Crow's Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Crow's Green included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Crow's Green after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How long is a fan clean?
Allow a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Crow's Green
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. If you’re dealing with a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Crow's Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Grease, kitchens and Crow's Green
Crow's Green is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. At about 37 miles from central London, Crow's Green sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Braintree Community Hospital about 3.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in Crow's Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Crow's Green is about 5 miles west of Braintree, in Essex. Whether your site is in the middle of Crow's Green or further out, we cover extract fan cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Across Essex, we cover 644 places, Crow's Green among them. Our Chelmsford page covers sites nearby (12 miles or so).

How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Crow's Green.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.

Why act early in Crow's Green
For a kitchen in Crow's Green, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it usually is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. With notice, the visit to Crow's Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

How we price extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
