Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Angell Town
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
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, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Extract fan cleaning in Angell Town, done properly
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. Typical jobs include a fan shaking on its mounts and hot, greasy smells near the fan, across in-line fans, axial fans and roof-mounted fans.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Angell Town is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Angell Town
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Giles' Hospital is the nearest hospital to Angell Town, about 1.2 miles east.
What to look for in a quote
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they’re fully insured
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Report rattles or humming early
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
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.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Angell Town: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Angell Town?
Angell Town is in the area of London Fire Brigade. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can school kitchens in Angell Town be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 83 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Angell Town, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A motor that has burnt out
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Damaged fan blades
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.

Why act early in Angell Town

In-house cleaning or 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.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Angell Town is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. It’s Lambeth council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Angell Town.
