Extract fan cleaning in Mashbury, Essex
For cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points in Mashbury, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
What staff can safely do
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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mashbury
In Mashbury, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. If you have a fan that no longer moves enough air and a motor area thick with grease, we can help.
Work in a small place like Mashbury starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Common questions in Mashbury
Can you work in Mashbury outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Mashbury keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is Mashbury within the area you cover?
Yes. Mashbury is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Mashbury

Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Mashbury.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
