About our extract fan cleaning in Netteswell
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. Typical jobs include grease around the motor and its mounts and a fan shaking on its mounts, on axial fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points.
For a smaller kitchen near Netteswell, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Extract fan cleaning around Netteswell

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Netteswell is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Harlow council inspect food businesses in Netteswell. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

Common problems we fix in Netteswell
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Netteswell as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Princess Alexandra Hospital is the nearest hospital to Netteswell, about 0.8 miles west.

Which environmental health team covers Netteswell?
The local authority for Netteswell is Harlow council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.

What does extract fan cleaning cost?

What affects the quote in Netteswell
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Your opening hours decide when we come to Netteswell, not ours.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work

What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. A quieter site near Netteswell still needs its system looked after.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Part by part
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
