Great Baddow questions
Will you come out to Great Baddow?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Great Baddow is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Great Baddow after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Great Baddow needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking and we can plan the two together.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a place like Great Baddow, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

When a fan fails in Great Baddow
Look up Great Baddow on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 121 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 19 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Great Baddow, up to about a mile and a half out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Great Baddow, about 30 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. In Great Baddow, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chelmsford council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Baddow Hall Infant School, rather than mid-term. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Great Baddow, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Great Baddow gets to the real cause. In a smaller place like Great Baddow, a site that has to close is felt quickly.

How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
