Extract fan cleaning in Great Hallingbury, done properly
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. If you are dealing with weak extraction at the canopy and thick grease on the impeller and casing, we can put it right, from roof-mounted fans, fan housings and in-line fans onwards.
Work in a small place like Great Hallingbury starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What else we do in Great Hallingbury
Grease, kitchens and Great Hallingbury
There are about 13 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Great Hallingbury, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Fire safety in Great Hallingbury falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Uttlesford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Great Hallingbury. 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.
Historic houses near Great Hallingbury, such as Barrington Hall about 2.6 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hospital like Herts and Essex Hospital, about 1.1 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Where a hall near Church of St Giles, or anywhere in Great Hallingbury, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Part by part
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Great Hallingbury questions
Can the work in Great Hallingbury be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Great Hallingbury needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Great Hallingbury?
Food hygiene inspections in Great Hallingbury are carried out by Uttlesford council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we’ll tell you and quote for the repair.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for most single fans. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Great Hallingbury knowing what to expect.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Great Hallingbury
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
