How we price extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Extract fan cleaning in Lambourne End, done properly
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, before signing it off. The work covers centrifugal fans, discharge points and in-line fans, and people most often call us about a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and an extract fan with no cleaning record.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Lambourne End
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
What happens if it’s left?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Somewhere as small as Lambourne End, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

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.
Extract fan cleaning in Lambourne End: the local picture
Look up Lambourne End on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Lambourne End and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Lambourne End. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Redbridge council inspect food businesses in Lambourne End. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Lambourne End is Claybury Hospital, about 3.5 miles south-west. Where a hall near Parish Church of St Mary and All Saints, or anywhere in Lambourne End, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hill Hall is about 3 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Lambourne End: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Lambourne End?
Food hygiene inspections in Lambourne End are carried out by Redbridge council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you cover smaller places like Lambourne End?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Lambourne End included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- An impeller that’s bent or split
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.

The process
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 first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Visits to a village like Lambourne End are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
