Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hailey
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and you will get a fixed price, typically within one working day. Common call-outs are for thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan shaking on its mounts, on centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans.
In a village or hamlet like Hailey, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that will not start
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
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.
Hailey: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hailey?
Fire safety enforcement in Hailey is handled by Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Hailey out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 16 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hailey. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Is Hailey in your area?
Yes. We work in Hailey and the rest of Hertfordshire, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
What affects the quote in Hailey
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
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’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Hailey rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

When to call us in Hailey
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
What we are most often called out for:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A motor area thick with grease
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Roselands Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Extract fan cleaning around Hailey
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 19 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Hailey and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Hailey. 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 Broxbourne council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hailey. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Hailey, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Hertford County Hospital (about 3.1 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What’s near Hailey

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Hailey run smoothly.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
