Grease, kitchens and Tewin Wood
The FSA’s data shows about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Tewin Wood. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Tewin Wood is Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from East Hertfordshire council inspect food businesses in Tewin Wood. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Digswell House, about 2.1 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Tewin Wood; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ridgeway Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Queen Elizabeth II Hospital about 3.5 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Extract fan cleaning in Tewin Wood
Any fan serving a kitchen in Tewin Wood is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you are dealing with an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and hot, greasy smells near the fan, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Tewin Wood starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Tewin Wood
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. In a place like Tewin Wood, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What you get with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- We diagnose before we treat
- We are fully insured

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Tewin Wood
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Tewin Wood?
Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Tewin Wood. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Tewin Wood?
Food hygiene inspections in Tewin Wood are carried out by East Hertfordshire council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it 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 any work starts.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, whether that is late evening, overnight or a weekend.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Somewhere as small as Tewin Wood, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Part by part
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
