How the visit works

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Great Holland
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you’ll get a fixed price, usually within one working day. If you’re dealing with an extract fan with no cleaning record and thick grease on the impeller and casing, we can put it right, from discharge points, centrifugal fans and in-line fans onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Great Holland, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Great Holland
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. With notice, the visit to Great Holland can be fitted around your bookings and events.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

For extract fan cleaning in Great Holland, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Great Holland?
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A motor area thick with grease
- Weak extraction at the canopy
If you cook for passing trade around Kirby Cross station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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.

FAQs for Great Holland
Can a school canteen extract in Great Holland be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Great Holland. You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Great Holland?
That’s Tendring council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Great Holland. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Extract fan cleaning in Great Holland: the local picture
Great Holland is within about 2 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 26 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Great Holland. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Food hygiene inspections in Great Holland are the job of Tendring council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Great Holland (Thorpe Hall is about 2.2 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Great Holland, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
