Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Jacobs Well
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. If you’re dealing with vibration from an unbalanced impeller and hot, greasy smells near the fan, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Jacobs Well, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

When something else is needed
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Report grease escaping from the fan
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.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for most single fans, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Jacobs Well run smoothly.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

What else we do in Jacobs Well
How we price extract fan cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Why act early in Jacobs Well
A fan clean in Jacobs Well does not take long: it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. It’s simpler to plan the work at Jacobs Well now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
