Extract fan cleaning in Curling Tye Green
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Typical jobs include a heavily greased fan housing and less air being pulled from the kitchen, on roof-mounted fans, discharge points and in-line fans.
For a kitchen in or near Curling Tye Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Extract fan cleaning around Curling Tye Green
The coast is only about 3 miles from Curling Tye Green. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 9 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Curling Tye Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. It’s Maldon council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Curling Tye Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Danbury Place is about 3.8 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael, or anywhere in Curling Tye Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Plume School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Why it’s worth doing now in Curling Tye Green
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Curling Tye Green questions
Do you work at weekends in Curling Tye Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Curling Tye Green needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Curling Tye Green?
Kitchens in Curling Tye Green are inspected by Maldon council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.

What we work on in Curling Tye Green
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In a small place like Curling Tye Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

How we price extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
