Extract fan cleaning in Gubbion's Green
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. If you are dealing with thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan left out of previous cleans, we can help, from centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Gubbion's Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Gubbion's Green
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Gubbion's Green questions
Can the work in Gubbion's Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Gubbion's Green can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Gubbion's Green?
Yes. Gubbion's Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What affects the quote in Gubbion's Green
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Grease, kitchens and Gubbion's Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Gubbion's Green, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Gubbion's Green is 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. Environmental health officers from Chelmsford council inspect food businesses in Gubbion's Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Great Leighs Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Wiring faults to the fan
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Gubbion's Green
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
Leave it or put it right?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Gubbion's Green is calmer for everyone.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

What else we do in Gubbion's Green
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere as small as Gubbion's Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
What we’re called out for in Gubbion's Green
A fan in Gubbion's Green builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
What we are most often called out for:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; William Julien Courtauld Hospital is the nearest hospital to Gubbion's Green, about 3.2 miles north.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of insurance
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If they look at the system before pricing
