Extract fan cleaning in Abbotsford
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that’s what we clean. If you have rough running from the extract fan and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can help, from roof-mounted fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Abbotsford, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Abbotsford: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Abbotsford?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Abbotsford. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work overnight in Abbotsford?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Abbotsford can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Abbotsford
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
Why act early in Abbotsford
A fan that sounds rough in Abbotsford is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it usually is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. Planning a trip to Abbotsford ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Abbotsford and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload

When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

- Damaged fan blades
- Wiring faults to the fan
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on in Abbotsford
- Roof-mounted fans

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
