Part by part
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Extract fan cleaning in South Fambridge, done properly
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. Typical jobs include thick grease on the impeller and casing and rough running from the extract fan, on fan housings, roof-mounted fans and discharge points.
In a village or hamlet like South Fambridge, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Why deal with it now?
Cleaning the fan in South Fambridge now is a short job: the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Extract fan cleaning in South Fambridge: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of South Fambridge. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Fire safety in South Fambridge falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in South Fambridge get their food hygiene inspections from Maldon council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints or elsewhere in South Fambridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Greensward Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to South Fambridge is Southend University Hospital, about 5.4 miles south.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in South Fambridge
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for South Fambridge?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers South Fambridge. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in South Fambridge?
The local authority for South Fambridge is Maldon council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to South Fambridge run smoothly.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
How we price extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
