Common problems we fix in Woolmer Green
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Woolmer Green as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A motor area thick with grease
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Where a hall near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Woolmer Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

About our extract fan cleaning in Woolmer Green
In Woolmer Green, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. We are often asked to deal with rough running from the extract fan and thick grease on the impeller and casing, on roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and axial fans.
Work in a small place like Woolmer Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Fan housings

Woolmer Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered across Woolmer Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Woolmer Green is Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Welwyn Hatfield council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Woolmer Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

Advice
Common questions in Woolmer Green
Can a school canteen extract in Woolmer Green be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Woolmer Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Will you come out to Woolmer Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Woolmer Green is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
What affects the quote in Woolmer Green
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.
