Extract fan cleaning in Ramsey
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you’ll get a fixed price, normally within one working day. The work covers discharge points, axial fans and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles.
Work in a small place like Ramsey starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Ramsey.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

How we price extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ramsey
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. It’s simpler to plan the work at Ramsey now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A motor that has burnt out
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Report rattles or humming early
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
When to call us in Ramsey
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Ramsey as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A motor area thick with grease
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Where a hall near Parish Church of St Michael, or anywhere in Ramsey, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Kitchen extracts in Ramsey
Ramsey is within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Kitchens in Ramsey get their food hygiene inspections from Tendring council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Ramsey sits within the area of 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.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Ramsey
Which council inspects kitchens in Ramsey?
That’s Tendring council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ramsey. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Ramsey during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Ramsey, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
