Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Fuller Street
How fast a fan gets greasy in Fuller Street depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Fuller Street, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Fuller Street
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, before signing it off. If you have weak extraction at the canopy and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Fuller Street
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Fuller Street?
In Fuller Street, it’s Braintree council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire authority looks after Fuller Street?
Fire safety enforcement in Fuller Street is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How long is a fan clean?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that won’t start
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
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 to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line 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 will usually have a quote within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Fuller Street and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep records of every fan clean
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.

How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
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.
