Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ulting
Any fan serving a kitchen in Ulting is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. If you are dealing with grease escaping from the fan outlet and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Ulting, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ulting
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Ulting
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so we clean what we safely can.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Kitchen extracts in Ulting
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Ulting and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Ulting, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Braintree council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Ulting is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Ulting, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Priory Hospital (about 5.3 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Danbury Place is about 3.5 miles south-west), access may need planning.
Ulting is about 3 miles north-west of Maldon, in Essex. Across the CM9 area, we can carry out extract fan cleaning at your premises. Across Essex, we cover 644 places, Ulting among them.

Around Ulting
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Sportsmans Arms. Ulting’s nearest station is Hatfield Peverel station, roughly 2.1 miles north-west. Nearby you will also find Priory Hospital (5.3 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Danbury Ridge Nature Reserves.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork

What else we do in Ulting
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere as small as Ulting, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Which environmental health team covers Ulting?
In Ulting, it’s Braintree 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 cover Ulting?
Yes. We cover Ulting and the rest of Essex, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
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.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
An unbalanced impeller, usually from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.

All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
