Extract fan cleaning in Loyter's Green, done properly
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract fan with no cleaning record and a fan that no longer moves enough air.
Somewhere as small as Loyter's Green, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Loyter's Green
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Loyter's Green
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. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Princess Alexandra Hospital about 4.6 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What else we do in Loyter's Green
Loyter's Green: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Loyter's Green?
Kitchens in Loyter's Green are inspected by Epping Forest council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is Loyter's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Loyter's Green is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Loyter's Green, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
