About our extract fan cleaning in Gambles Green
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. The work covers in-line fans, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are weak extraction at the canopy and grease escaping from the fan outlet.
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 report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Questions from Gambles Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Gambles Green?
Kitchens in Gambles Green are inspected by Braintree council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can the work in Gambles Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Gambles Green needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
An unbalanced impeller, usually from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Do you cover Gambles Green?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Gambles Green.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it cannot run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Gambles Green knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Never cook with a filter missing
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
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 happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Gambles Green, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Planning a trip to Gambles Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
