Extract fan cleaning in Little Bromley
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. If you are dealing with grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Little Bromley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Little Bromley can be planned properly.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Make sure the fan is included each time
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What we are called out for in Little Bromley
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Little Bromley as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary the Virgin's Church or elsewhere in Little Bromley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

- What records you will receive afterwards

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.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
