How we price extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
About our extract fan cleaning in Stocking Pelham
Any fan serving a kitchen in Stocking Pelham is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. If you have a noisy fan that has got louder over time and a motor area thick with grease, we can put it right, from discharge points, axial fans and fan housings onwards.
Somewhere as small as Stocking Pelham, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Extract fan cleaning around Stocking Pelham
Food hygiene inspections in Stocking Pelham are the job of East Hertfordshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Stocking Pelham is covered by Hertfordshire 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Stocking Pelham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere as small as Stocking Pelham, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
What happens if it’s left?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Stocking Pelham
Do you work in villages like Stocking Pelham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stocking Pelham is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire authority looks after Stocking Pelham?
Fire safety enforcement in Stocking Pelham is handled by Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Common problems we fix in Stocking Pelham
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Herts and Essex Hospital (about 5.9 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
