Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tillingham
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. Typical jobs include an extract fan with no cleaning record and a motor area thick with grease, on centrifugal fans, axial fans and roof-mounted fans.
Work in a small place like Tillingham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Extract fan cleaning in Tillingham: the local picture
Sea air reaches Tillingham, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. In Tillingham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maldon council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Tillingham falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For kitchens in and around Tillingham, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

What else we do in Tillingham
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A fan that won’t start
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
What we’re called out for in Tillingham
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Look out for any of the following:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Tillingham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Tillingham.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tillingham
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

FAQs for Tillingham
Does being near the coast affect extract fan cleaning in Tillingham?
It can. Salt air reaches Tillingham, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Do you cover smaller places like Tillingham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Tillingham is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
