About our extract fan cleaning in Greenstead Green
If the extract fan in Greenstead Green has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Greenstead Green, typically within one working day. We are often asked to deal with weak extraction at the canopy and hot, greasy smells near the fan, across centrifugal fans, discharge points and in-line fans.
Somewhere as small as Greenstead Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
What a clean won’t put right
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Greenstead Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Greenstead Green?
Yes, Greenstead Green is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire service covers Greenstead Green?
Greenstead Green is in the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so you don’t have to close during trading.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
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 TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
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 for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. It’s simpler to plan the work at Greenstead Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
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.

The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere like Greenstead Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system

Food Standards Agency data counts about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 12 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Greenstead Green. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. The fire and rescue service for Greenstead Green is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Greenstead Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Braintree council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
