About our extract fan cleaning in Roundbush Green
Any fan serving a kitchen in Roundbush Green is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. Common call-outs are for less air being pulled from the kitchen and grease around the motor and its mounts, on discharge points, roof-mounted fans and fan housings.
Somewhere as small as Roundbush Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Never cook with a filter missing
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What affects the quote in Roundbush Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. The timing of a visit to Roundbush Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
Get a fixed quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Roundbush Green
At about 28 miles from central London, Roundbush Green sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Roundbush Green is covered by 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Barrington Hall is about 3.1 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Parish Church of St Mary or anywhere around Roundbush Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Roundbush Green is about 8 miles south-east of Bishop's Stortford, in Essex. From the centre of Roundbush Green to the outskirts, extract fan cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates.

What we are called out for in Roundbush Green
How fast a fan gets greasy in Roundbush Green 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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A motor area thick with grease
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Rodings Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the figure could change on the day
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Roundbush Green: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in Roundbush Green be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Roundbush Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work at weekends in Roundbush Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Roundbush Green needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If we find wear or damage, we’ll explain it and send you a fixed quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
