About our extract fan cleaning in Stapleford Abbotts
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you have a heavily greased fan housing and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, we can help.
In a small place like Stapleford Abbotts, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Stapleford Abbotts?
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Harold Wood Hospital is the nearest hospital to Stapleford Abbotts, about 3.6 miles south-east.

Grease, kitchens and Stapleford Abbotts
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Stapleford Abbotts and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Stapleford Abbotts. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Stapleford Abbotts, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Epping Forest council. 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
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.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that sounds rough in Stapleford Abbotts is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. With notice, the visit to Stapleford Abbotts can be fitted around your bookings and events.

Stapleford Abbotts questions
Do you work overnight in Stapleford Abbotts?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you come out to Stapleford Abbotts?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Allow a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Your quote will give an idea.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and give you a fixed quote.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Stapleford Abbotts.
- 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 photos go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
