Extract fan cleaning in Sibley's Green, done properly
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. Typical jobs include a fan coated in grease inside its housing and grease around the motor and its mounts, on fan housings, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans.
In a small place like Sibley's Green, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Sibley's Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Sibley's Green?
Yes. Sibley's Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Sibley's Green?
That’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it cannot run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Leave it or put it right?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. In a small place like Sibley's Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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 happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In a small place like Sibley's Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. 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 send details by email.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
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.

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Uttlesford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Sibley's Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Sibley's Green is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

How we price extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work

- Axial fans

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
