Rawreth: your questions answered
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Rawreth out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Rawreth. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
Which fire authority looks after Rawreth?
Fire safety enforcement in Rawreth is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Extract fan cleaning in Rawreth, done properly
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. The work covers centrifugal fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract fan with no cleaning record and a noisy fan that has got louder over time.
In a small place like Rawreth, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, 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. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Make sure the fan is included each time
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and we clear up before we go. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Rawreth, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
Why act early in Rawreth
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. A fault that closes a site in a village like Rawreth affects everyone who depends on it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Other services in Rawreth
Common problems we fix in Rawreth
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A motor area thick with grease
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Rawreth is Chartwell Private Hospital, about 5.1 miles south-east.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether they’re fully insured
Extract fan cleaning in Rawreth: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs, bars and clubs across Rawreth and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Rawreth falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Rawreth get their food hygiene inspections from Rochford council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Rawreth, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Our Lady of Ransom Catholic Primary School or anywhere near Rawreth, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
