Holland-on-Sea extract fan cleaning
For cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points in Holland-on-Sea, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Grease stains around the discharge
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

Why it’s worth doing now in Holland-on-Sea
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Holland-on-Sea
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Extract fan cleaning in Holland-on-Sea: the local picture
At about 1 mile from the coast, Holland-on-Sea is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Holland-on-Sea, 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. Kitchens in Holland-on-Sea get their food hygiene inspections from Tendring council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Holland-on-Sea (Thorpe Hall is about 3.4 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Holland Haven Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Holland-on-Sea is about 2 miles east of Clacton-on-Sea, in Essex. Wherever you are in the CO15 postcode area, we cover extract fan cleaning for commercial sites. Across Essex, we cover 644 places, Holland-on-Sea among them. Chelmsford is in our area too, around 31 miles away.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. 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. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Holland-on-Sea can typically be finished without a second trip.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- 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.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
Common problems we fix in Holland-on-Sea
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Holland-on-Sea as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Bartholomews Church Hall or elsewhere in Holland-on-Sea, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Before booking anyone
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.

Holland-on-Sea: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Holland-on-Sea be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Holland-on-Sea. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Does the sea air around Holland-on-Sea make a difference to extract fan cleaning?
It can, as Holland-on-Sea is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and give you a fixed quote.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
