Tye Green: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Tye Green?
In Tye Green, it’s Uttlesford 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.
Do you work in villages like Tye Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Tye Green included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll book around them.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tye Green
If the extract fan in Tye Green has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Tye Green, usually within one working day. If you have an extract fan with no cleaning record and burning smells from the fan area, we can put it right, from discharge points, centrifugal fans and in-line fans onwards.
Work in a small place like Tye Green 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Tye Green
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Paul's Mission Room or elsewhere in Tye Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What insurance they carry
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tye Green
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Planning a trip to Tye Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Report rattles or humming early
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
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.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Tye Green.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
