Extract fan cleaning in Pig Street, done properly
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you’ll get a fixed price, normally within one working day. The work covers fan housings, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan shaking on its mounts and grease escaping from the fan outlet.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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.

Why act early in Pig Street
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Pig Street
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere as small as Pig Street, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

Questions from Pig Street
Do you work at weekends in Pig Street?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Will you come out to Pig Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Pig Street?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
Kitchen extracts in Pig Street
Pig Street is within about 3 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Pig Street. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Pig Street sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as Rolph CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Thorpe Hall is about 0.8 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Look out for these warning signs:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Commuter trade near Thorpe-Le-Soken station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
