Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Anthill Common
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Extract fan cleaning in Anthill Common
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. We are often asked to deal with fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a fan shaking on its mounts, across axial fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Anthill Common: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Anthill Common?
Yes. Anthill Common is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can school kitchens in Anthill Common be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Anthill Common. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Report rattles or humming early
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Leave a clear route to the fan
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Why act early in Anthill Common
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Anthill Common is calmer for everyone.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- We diagnose before we treat
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Anthill Common, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
What a clean will not put right
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- An impeller that is bent or split
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
