Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
About our extract fan cleaning in Lamb Corner
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Typical jobs include vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a motor area thick with grease, on centrifugal fans, discharge points and fan housings.
In a village or hamlet like Lamb Corner, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Visits to a village like Lamb Corner are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one

How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
Why act early in Lamb Corner
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. A fault that closes a site in a village like Lamb Corner affects everyone who depends on it.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Lamb Corner: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Lamb Corner?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Lamb Corner. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you work in Lamb Corner outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Lamb Corner doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it cannot start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan typically means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Extract fan cleaning in Lamb Corner: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Lamb Corner. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Lamb Corner sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Colchester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lamb Corner. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Lamb Corner (Castle House is about 0.9 miles east), fitting access panels needs care. A hospital like Severalls Hospital, about 4 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Lamb Corner, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What else we do in Lamb Corner
How we price extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
