How we handle extract fan cleaning in Wix Green
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 roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and vibration from an unbalanced impeller.
In a village or hamlet like Wix Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Wix Green
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Burning smells from the fan area
Historic houses near Wix Green, such as Thorpe Hall about 4.2 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for most single fans. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Wix Green before we set off.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Related advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Report rattles or humming early
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wix Green
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. It’s simpler to plan the work at Wix Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

How we price extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A fan that won’t start
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Wix Green
Wix Green is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. It’s Tendring council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wix Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Wix Green falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wix and Wrabness Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Wix Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Common questions in Wix Green
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Wix Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Wix Green is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you get to a site in Wix Green?
Yes, Wix Green is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
