How we handle extract fan cleaning in Kelvedon Hatch
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you have an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, we can help, from discharge points, in-line fans and fan housings onwards.
Somewhere as small as Kelvedon Hatch, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for most single fans, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a village like Kelvedon Hatch are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work

Common questions in Kelvedon Hatch
Do you work at weekends in Kelvedon Hatch?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Kelvedon Hatch?
Kitchens in Kelvedon Hatch are inspected by Brentwood council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. 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.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Kelvedon Hatch
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Kelvedon Hatch. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Kitchens in Kelvedon Hatch get their food hygiene inspections from Brentwood council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Kelvedon Hatch 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.
Historic houses near Kelvedon Hatch, such as Ingatestone Hall about 5 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near New Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Kelvedon Hatch, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
What we are called out for in Kelvedon Hatch
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Kelvedon Hatch Community Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether VAT is included
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
Why act early in Kelvedon Hatch

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
