Extract fan cleaning in Lower Nazeing, done properly
Any fan serving a kitchen in Lower Nazeing is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. Typical jobs include a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a smell of hot grease from the extract, across roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
For a smaller kitchen near Lower Nazeing, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Common questions in Lower Nazeing
Which council inspects kitchens in Lower Nazeing?
Kitchens in Lower Nazeing are inspected by Epping Forest council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can a school canteen extract in Lower Nazeing be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Lower Nazeing, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Before and after photos go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking is not affected.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Extract fan cleaning around Lower Nazeing
There are about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lower Nazeing, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Kitchens in Lower Nazeing get their food hygiene inspections from Epping Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Lower Nazeing falls to 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Nazeing Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hospital like Princess Alexandra Hospital, about 3.7 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Lower Nazeing
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When to call us in Lower Nazeing
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Giles or anywhere around Lower Nazeing, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before booking anyone
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What insurance they carry
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Leave a clear route to the fan
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Lower Nazeing can usually be finished without a second trip.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
