Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Roxwell
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you have hot, greasy smells near the fan and grease stains around the discharge, we can help.
Work in a small place like Roxwell starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Roxwell and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Common questions in Roxwell
Can the work in Roxwell be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Roxwell needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Roxwell?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks, under BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Why act early in Roxwell
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. In a small place like Roxwell, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.

Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Roxwell kitchens: local notes
Environmental health officers from Chelmsford council inspect food businesses in Roxwell. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Roxwell falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chelmsford and Essex Hospital is the nearest hospital to Roxwell, about 3.9 miles south-east. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Roxwell (Hylands is about 3.5 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Roxwell, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
