Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and grease builds up on them unevenly. That is what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Tye Green
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. The work covers roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are a fan that has never been cleaned and hot, greasy smells near the fan.
For a kitchen in or near Tye Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning does not 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.
Why act early in Tye Green
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. In a place like Tye Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Tye Green questions
Which fire authority looks after Tye Green?
That’s 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 clean school canteen extracts around Tye Green out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Tye Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Allow an hour or two for most single fans. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Tye Green run smoothly.
- 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.
