Oxley Green extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning for Oxley Green, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Oxley Green
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. If you are dealing with a heavily greased fan housing and a motor area thick with grease, we can put it right, from centrifugal fans, fan housings and in-line fans onwards.
Somewhere as small as Oxley Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.

What else we do in Oxley Green
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. In a small place like Oxley Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and 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 Oxley Green, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
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.
Extract fan cleaning around Oxley Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Oxley Green. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Kitchens in Oxley Green get their food hygiene inspections from Maldon council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Oxley Green 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Oxley Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Thurstable School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Layer Marney Tower, about 2.3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Oxley Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Wiring faults to the fan

Oxley Green questions
Do you work overnight in Oxley Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Oxley Green needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which fire service covers Oxley Green?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Oxley Green. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Check filters are seated before cooking
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
