Extract fan cleaning in Terling
We have been trading since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. We’re often asked to deal with a fan that no longer moves enough air and rough running from the extract fan, across roof-mounted fans, axial fans and discharge points.
Work in a small place like Terling starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens on the day
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 an hour or two for most single fans, and we clear up before we go. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Terling.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Leave it or put it right?
For a kitchen in Terling, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. It’s simpler to plan the work at Terling now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Questions from Terling
Can you get to a site in Terling?
Yes. Terling is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who inspects food businesses in Terling?
In Terling, it’s Braintree council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll book around them.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Your quote will give an idea.
Extract fan cleaning in Terling: the local picture
Terling sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Braintree council inspect food businesses in Terling. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For schools such as Terling Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like William Julien Courtauld Hospital about 4.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Terling
A greasy fan in Terling is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A motor area thick with grease
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near United Reformed Church or elsewhere in Terling, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
