How we handle extract fan cleaning in Rush Green
Any fan serving a kitchen in Rush Green is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers in-line fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about a heavily greased fan housing and burning smells from the fan area.
For a smaller kitchen near Rush Green, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We plan the journey to Rush Green and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

What affects the quote in Rush Green
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Check filters are seated before cooking
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Kitchen extracts in Rush Green
Rush Green lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 21 pubs and bars and about 10 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses in and around Rush Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Tendring council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Rush Green. 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in Rush Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ravens Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Historic houses near Rush Green, such as Thorpe Hall about 4.4 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
Why deal with it now?
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. In a smaller place like Rush Green, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What do you need from me for a quote?
