About our extract fan cleaning in Perry Green
We have been trading since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Typical jobs include an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and hot, greasy smells near the fan, across discharge points, axial fans and in-line fans.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Perry Green
A fan in Perry Green builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan shaking on its mounts
For schools such as Alec Hunter Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Perry Green kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Perry Green. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Perry Green. 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. It’s Braintree council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Perry Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Perry Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; William Julien Courtauld Hospital is the nearest hospital to Perry Green, about 3.5 miles west.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Perry Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Perry Green?
Kitchens in Perry Green are inspected by Braintree council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you get to a site in Perry Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Perry Green included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.

What else we do in Perry Green
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. If the system at a site near Perry Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. That is what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
The process
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. The timing of a visit to Perry Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
How we price extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
