Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. With notice, the visit to East Hanningfield can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in East Hanningfield
There are about 8 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in East Hanningfield and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. East Hanningfield 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. Kitchens in East Hanningfield get their food hygiene inspections from Chelmsford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around East Hanningfield (Danbury Place is about 2.4 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. Term dates shape school work: for a school like East Hanningfield Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Common questions in East Hanningfield
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in East Hanningfield during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of East Hanningfield. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work overnight in East Hanningfield?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in East Hanningfield needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What staff can safely do
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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in East Hanningfield
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.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in East Hanningfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. We clean them where they can be safely reached, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
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.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Report rattles or humming early
You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere as small as East Hanningfield, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
