Fyfield questions
Can you work in Fyfield outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Fyfield does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in Fyfield?
That is Epping Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Fyfield. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you cover Fyfield?
Yes. We work in Fyfield and across Essex, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean will not mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
About our extract fan cleaning in Fyfield
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. If you’re dealing with a smell of hot grease from the extract and a heavily greased fan housing, we can help.
In a small place like Fyfield, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Leave a clear route to the fan
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Fyfield knowing what to expect.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

How we price extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Fyfield?
A fan in Fyfield builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: 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.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease stains around the discharge
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Fyfield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether VAT is included
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Leave it or put it right?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Fyfield rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
