Extract fan cleaning in Pattiswick
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. The work covers axial fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about a fan left out of previous cleans and vibration from an unbalanced impeller.
Work in a small place like Pattiswick starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Pattiswick.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Common questions in Pattiswick
Which council inspects kitchens in Pattiswick?
Food hygiene inspections in Pattiswick are carried out by Braintree council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work at weekends in Pattiswick?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Pattiswick does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Pattiswick
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Leave a clear route to the fan
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
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 act early in Pattiswick
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Pattiswick rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Why us?
- A fixed price before any work starts
- We diagnose before we treat
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- An impeller that is bent or split
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
When to call us in Pattiswick
How fast a fan gets greasy in Pattiswick depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Weak extraction at the canopy
School kitchens, at schools like Stisted Church of England Primary Academy for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the figure could change on the day
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
