Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Daws Heath
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. If you are dealing with a noisy fan that has got louder over time and grease around the motor and its mounts, we can put it right, from discharge points, roof-mounted fans and fan housings onwards.
Work in a small place like Daws Heath starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Daws Heath
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For extract fan cleaning in Daws Heath, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Common problems we fix in Daws Heath
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Rough running from the extract fan
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Deanes School or anywhere near Daws Heath, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and pictures are included

- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Daws Heath: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect extract fan cleaning in Daws Heath?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, Daws Heath gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Daws Heath?
That’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Every clean has a photo report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured 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 sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Damaged fan blades
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A fan that won’t start
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Report rattles or humming early
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.

What else we do in Daws Heath
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. A fault that closes a site in a village like Daws Heath affects everyone who depends on it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Extract fan cleaning around Daws Heath
Daws Heath is within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 67 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 35 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Daws Heath. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Daws Heath is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Michael's and All Angels or anywhere around Daws Heath, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chartwell Private Hospital (about 1.7 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere as small as Daws Heath, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
