Tendring extract fan cleaning
Our technicians work in Tendring on extract fan cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan shaking on its mounts
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
About our extract fan cleaning in Tendring
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that is what we clean. If you have an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and an extract fan with no cleaning record, we can put it right.
In a small place like Tendring, 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.
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 extract fan cleaning looks like in Tendring
Environmental health officers from Tendring council inspect food businesses in Tendring. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. At about 58 miles from central London, Tendring sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
School kitchens, at schools like Tendring Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Thorpe Hall, about 2.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Tendring; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Edmund or elsewhere in Tendring, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What affects the quote in Tendring
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it can’t be reached fully, the report says so.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Common questions in Tendring
Who is the fire and rescue service for Tendring?
Fire safety enforcement in Tendring is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who inspects food businesses in Tendring?
That is Tendring council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Tendring. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Tendring?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you cover Tendring?
Yes. Tendring is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Why act early in Tendring
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. It’s simpler to plan the work at Tendring now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Tendring, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
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.
