What extract fan cleaning looks like in Weeley
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Weeley, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Weeley are the job of Tendring council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Weeley sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Weeley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Weeley St Andrew's CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A kitchen near Weeley station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

About our extract fan cleaning in Weeley
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. We’re often asked to deal with a fan that has never been cleaned and hot, greasy smells near the fan, across centrifugal fans, in-line fans and fan housings.
Work in a small place like Weeley starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
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.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans

Weeley: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Weeley?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Weeley needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire service covers Weeley?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Weeley. 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.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
An unbalanced impeller, normally from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Do you cover Weeley?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Weeley included.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Never cook with a filter missing
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
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 affects the quote in Weeley
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Weeley
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it 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 Weeley run smoothly.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
