For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.

Extract fan cleaning around Salcott-cum-Virley
Salcott-cum-Virley lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Environmental health officers from Maldon council inspect food businesses in Salcott-cum-Virley. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Salcott-cum-Virley is 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.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Salcott-cum-Virley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Report rattles or humming early
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Never cook with a filter missing
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. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
FAQs for Salcott-cum-Virley
Will you come out to Salcott-cum-Virley?

Who inspects food businesses in Salcott-cum-Virley?
Kitchens in Salcott-cum-Virley are inspected by Maldon council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Salcott-cum-Virley?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Are you accredited?

Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How long is a fan clean?
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.
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. A planned visit to Salcott-cum-Virley is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
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 affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Salcott-cum-Virley, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
