Extract fan cleaning in Dengie, done properly

Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you have a noisy fan that has got louder over time and a motor area thick with grease, we can help.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.

The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards

How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
  • Watch for grease marks around the outlet
  • Keep the grease filters clean and in place
  • Report rattles or humming early

If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.

Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

How it works

Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Dengie knowing what to expect.

  1. Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
  2. With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
  3. Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
  4. Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
  5. The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.

How to prepare

  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Grease, kitchens and Dengie

Dengie 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 hygiene inspections in Dengie are the job of Maldon council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Dengie sits within the area of 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.

In and around Dengie, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we can’t reach goes on the report. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St James, or anywhere in Dengie, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Dengie is about 4 miles north-east of Burnham-on-Crouch, in Essex. From the centre of Dengie to the outskirts, extract fan cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. We cover 644 places across Essex, large and small. Our Chelmsford page covers sites nearby (17 miles or so).

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning

You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:

  • What state the system is in
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Asking for a quote

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:

  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it
  • The postcode and the type of business

For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

Common questions in Dengie

Which fire authority looks after Dengie?

Fire safety enforcement in Dengie is handled by 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 work at weekends in Dengie?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Dengie doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What if parts of the system cannot be reached?

The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.

Will we have to shut during the visit?

Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.

Who is the responsible person?

In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

When something else is needed

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:

  • Wiring faults to the fan
  • A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
  • A fan that was never right for the kitchen

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

How the job changes from site to site

Fan housings and motors

The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.

Inline duct fans

Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
