How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Mount Bures, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.

What else we do in Mount Bures
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Common questions in Mount Bures
Can you work in Mount Bures outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Mount Bures needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Mount Bures?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Mount Bures. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.

- Damaged fan blades

Why act early in Mount Bures
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Why book with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- We’re fully insured

- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Common problems we fix in Mount Bures
How fast a fan gets greasy in Mount Bures depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan shaking on its mounts
For kitchens close to Bures station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a survey comes first
