What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Whippendell Bottom.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Whippendell Bottom
Food Standards Agency data counts about 16 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Whippendell Bottom. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Whippendell Bottom. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Whippendell Bottom are the job of Dacorum council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Historic houses near Whippendell Bottom, such as Chenies Manor House about 3.4 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Hemel Hempstead Hospital about 2.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Whippendell Bottom and across Hertfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Common questions in Whippendell Bottom
Can a school canteen extract in Whippendell Bottom be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Whippendell Bottom, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Whippendell Bottom?
Whippendell Bottom is in the area of Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will plan the visit around them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking is not affected.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
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.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
