Extract fan cleaning in Thorington Street, done properly
Any fan serving a kitchen in Thorington Street 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 have a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and grease escaping from the fan outlet, we can put it right, from discharge points, fan housings and centrifugal fans onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Thorington Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Thorington Street
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Thorington Street?
That is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work in villages like Thorington Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Thorington Street is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Are you fully insured?

Kitchen extracts in Thorington Street
It’s Babergh council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Thorington Street. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Thorington Street falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s 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 job takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In a small place like Thorington Street, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
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 you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For extract fan cleaning in Thorington Street, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep access to the fan clear
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
