Common questions in Wadesmill
Can you work in Wadesmill outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Wadesmill keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can school kitchens in Wadesmill be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Wadesmill. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
Extract fan cleaning in Wadesmill, done properly
Any fan serving a kitchen in Wadesmill is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you’re dealing with grease around the motor and its mounts and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, we can put it right, from in-line fans, axial fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.
Work in a small place like Wadesmill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Wadesmill
Look up Wadesmill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wadesmill. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Wadesmill are the job of East Hertfordshire council’s environmental health team. 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. The fire and rescue service for Wadesmill is Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Thundridge Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Much Hadham Palace is about 4.6 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Wadesmill is about 2 miles north of Ware, in Hertfordshire. Wadesmill gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Our area takes in 381 places across Hertfordshire, from busy centres to quieter spots. You can also see our page for Chelmsford, about 23 miles away.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Why act early in Wadesmill
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Wadesmill, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Wadesmill?
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Church and community hall kitchens, near Parish Church of St Mary or anywhere around Wadesmill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
