Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Navestock Heath
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. The work covers roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are weak extraction at the canopy and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles.
In a village or hamlet like Navestock Heath, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. With notice, the visit to Navestock Heath can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for most single fans. In a small place like Navestock Heath, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t 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.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Extract fan cleaning in Navestock Heath: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs, bars and clubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Navestock Heath. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Brentwood council inspect food businesses in Navestock Heath. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Navestock Heath is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Harold Wood Hospital about 4.3 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Thomas the Apostle or elsewhere in Navestock Heath, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hill Hall is about 3.2 miles north-west), access may need planning.

Navestock Heath: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Navestock Heath?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Navestock Heath?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Navestock Heath. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you cover Navestock Heath?
Yes. We work in Navestock Heath and the rest of Essex, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan usually means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks in BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
How long is a fan clean?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
