How we handle extract fan cleaning in Nayland
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. If you are dealing with an extract fan with no cleaning record and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right, from fan housings, discharge points and centrifugal fans onwards.
In a small place like Nayland, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Nayland
Can school kitchens in Nayland be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Nayland. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Nayland?
Fire safety enforcement in Nayland is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it cannot start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you work in Nayland?
Yes. Nayland is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When to call us in Nayland
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Nayland as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
School kitchens, at schools like Nayland Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Grease, kitchens and Nayland
Kitchens in Nayland get their food hygiene inspections from Babergh council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Nayland falls to 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in Nayland, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Severalls Hospital, about 3.9 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Why it’s worth doing now in Nayland
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. With notice, the visit to Nayland can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like Nayland, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
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.
