How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Standon Green End run smoothly.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- 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 photos go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, 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 any work starts.
Advice
Extract fan cleaning in Standon Green End
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Standon Green End, usually within one working day. If you have weak extraction at the canopy and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, we can help, from roof-mounted fans, discharge points and axial fans onwards.
In a small place like Standon Green End, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
Different parts, different methods
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.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.

At about 25 miles from central London, Standon Green End sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.

Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
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.
Don’t 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.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Standon Green End
How fast a fan gets greasy in Standon Green End depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ralph Sadleir Middle School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

Common questions in Standon Green End
Do you cover smaller places like Standon Green End?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Standon Green End is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Standon Green End during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Standon Green End, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
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. We fix the price before work begins.
