About our extract fan cleaning in Wissington
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. The work covers fan housings, centrifugal fans and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are weak extraction at the canopy and a fan that has never been cleaned.
Somewhere as small as Wissington, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

What else we do in Wissington
Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that sounds rough in Wissington is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Wissington is calmer for everyone.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

When to call us in Wissington
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Where a hall near Church of St Mary Wiston, or anywhere in Wissington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What insurance they carry
- What hours they’ll be on site
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Wissington
Can you work in Wissington outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Wissington does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Wissington?
Kitchens in Wissington are inspected by Babergh council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
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.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
How long is a fan clean?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.
Do you work in Wissington?
Yes. We work in Wissington and across Essex, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What affects the quote in Wissington
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
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
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Wissington, let us know and we will plan around it.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
