Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wormingford
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers axial fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
Work in a small place like Wormingford starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere as small as Wormingford, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Leave a clear route to the fan
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

What else we do in Wormingford
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Common questions in Wormingford
Will you come out to Wormingford?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Wormingford is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Wormingford outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Wormingford does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
For extract fan cleaning in Wormingford, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Common problems we fix in Wormingford
How fast a fan gets greasy in Wormingford depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Andrew or anywhere around Wormingford, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
