How we handle extract fan cleaning in Hatfield Heath
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. The work covers discharge points, roof-mounted fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about a noisy fan that has got louder over time and grease escaping from the fan outlet.
In a village or hamlet like Hatfield Heath, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Hatfield Heath kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops across Hatfield Heath and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Hatfield Heath sits within the area of 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. Food hygiene inspections in Hatfield Heath are the job of Uttlesford council’s environmental health team. 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Hatfield Heath, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Barrington Hall is about 2.3 miles north-east), access may need planning. For schools such as Hatfield Heath Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Common questions in Hatfield Heath
Do you work at weekends in Hatfield Heath?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Hatfield Heath doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hatfield Heath?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hatfield Heath. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which accreditations do you hold?

How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Hatfield Heath?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Hatfield Heath before we set off.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hatfield Heath
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Part by part
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
