Extract fan cleaning in Paglesham, done properly
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 in-line fans, discharge points and axial fans, and people most often call us about less air being pulled from the kitchen and rough running from the extract fan.
In a small place like Paglesham, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Paglesham and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- 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
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What else we do in Paglesham
Grease, kitchens and Paglesham
Paglesham 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. Environmental health officers from Rochford council inspect food businesses in Paglesham. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near St Peters Mission Hall, or anywhere in Paglesham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Southend University Hospital (about 5.3 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Historic houses near Paglesham, such as Southchurch Hall about 4.9 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Paglesham is about 3 miles south-west of Burnham-on-Crouch, in Essex.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Never cook with a filter missing
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Why it’s worth doing now in Paglesham
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Questions from Paglesham
Can you work in Paglesham outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Paglesham?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Paglesham. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Paglesham?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
