Extract fan cleaning in Stoneyhills
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. We are often asked to deal with an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a fan that has never been cleaned, on axial fans, fan housings and in-line fans.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
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. That is our job.

What else we do in Stoneyhills
How we price extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
FAQs for Stoneyhills
Can you come to Stoneyhills after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can school kitchens in Stoneyhills be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Stoneyhills. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you work in Stoneyhills?
Yes. We cover Stoneyhills and the rest of Essex, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Stoneyhills?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan clean in Stoneyhills doesn’t take long: the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. A planned visit to Stoneyhills is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Stoneyhills
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Stoneyhills as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
If you run a café or takeaway near Burnham-On-Crouch station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Before you book anyone
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Stoneyhills and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures 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
Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Extract fan cleaning around Stoneyhills
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Stoneyhills and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Stoneyhills is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Stoneyhills, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maldon council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
