About our extract fan cleaning in Temple End
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. Typical jobs include vibration from an unbalanced impeller and weak extraction at the canopy, on discharge points, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
In a small place like Temple End, 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Temple End
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Temple End is Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Temple End and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hertfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Questions from Temple End
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Temple End in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Temple End. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which environmental health team covers Temple End?
In Temple End, it’s North Hertfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost 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 we start.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
