Questions from Woodham Mortimer
Do you work overnight in Woodham Mortimer?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Woodham Mortimer can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Is Woodham Mortimer within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Woodham Mortimer included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
The fan follows the full system’s interval at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. In a place like Woodham Mortimer, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Grease, kitchens and Woodham Mortimer
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Woodham Mortimer. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Woodham Mortimer, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maldon council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Woodham Mortimer is covered by Essex County 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Woodham Mortimer, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Woodham Mortimer is Baddow Hospital, about 4.9 miles west. Danbury Place, about 2.7 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Woodham Mortimer; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Woodham Mortimer.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
