Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tendring Heath
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. Typical jobs include a smell of hot grease from the extract and an extract fan with no cleaning record, across in-line fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Tendring Heath
A fan in Tendring Heath builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Grease stains around the discharge
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Tendring Heath (Thorpe Hall is about 4.2 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether a survey comes first
- How they set the interval to the next visit

Why deal with it now?
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. A planned visit to Tendring Heath is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- File the fan’s report with your other records
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.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

Common questions in Tendring Heath
Do you cover smaller places like Tendring Heath?
Yes, Tendring Heath is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Tendring Heath be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Tendring Heath needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere like Tendring Heath, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
