How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Nevendon
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that is what we clean. We’re often asked to deal with an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and hot, greasy smells near the fan, on centrifugal fans, axial fans and fan housings.
Somewhere as small as Nevendon, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Nevendon
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. With notice, the visit to Nevendon can be fitted around your bookings and events.

Nevendon: your questions answered
Is Nevendon within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Nevendon is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire authority looks after Nevendon?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Nevendon. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, where it makes sense. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan usually means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t start while we work. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere as small as Nevendon, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Nevendon kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 42 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 32 takeaways and sandwich shops in Nevendon and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Kitchens in Nevendon get their food hygiene inspections from Basildon council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Nevendon sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Nevendon, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Abacus Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Nevendon
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Nevendon as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
A hospital like Basildon University Hospital, about 4.1 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
