Extract fan cleaning for sites in Avery Hill

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

About our extract fan cleaning in Avery Hill

Any fan serving a kitchen in Avery Hill is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. If you’re dealing with a fan coated in grease inside its housing and grease around the motor and its mounts, we can help, from in-line fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans onwards.

London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Avery Hill is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.

Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When something else is needed

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • A motor that has burnt out
  • A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
  • Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What the work covers

  • In-line fans
  • Discharge points
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Axial fans
  • Fan housings
  • Centrifugal fans

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

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 work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

How it works

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Avery Hill.

  1. First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
  2. Once isolated, we open the fan up.
  3. The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
  4. Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
  5. We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.

Before we arrive

  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

How to get a quote

Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Extract fan cleaning in Avery Hill: the local picture

The Food Standards Agency lists about 39 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Avery Hill. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. London Fire Brigade covers Avery Hill. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Avery Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Greenwich council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Eltham Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Avery Hill, about 1 mile west. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Stationers' Crown Woods Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Avery Hill questions

Do you work overnight in Avery Hill?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Avery Hill?

Fire safety enforcement in Avery Hill is handled by London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

Are you insured?

Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.

Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?

The fan is isolated before we open it, so it cannot start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.

Do we lose a day’s trading?

Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.

How much 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. We fix the price before work begins.

Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?

You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.

What we are called out for in Avery Hill

Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:

  • A fan shaking on its mounts
  • Grease escaping from the fan outlet
  • A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
  • Less air being pulled from the kitchen

Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of Holy Trinity or anywhere around Avery Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What records you’ll receive afterwards
  • Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Avery Hill

You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:

  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • How big the system is
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • Any permits to work or inductions

Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Asking for a quote

To speed up the quote, send us:

  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is

For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

Aftercare tips

Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
  • Check filters are seated before cooking
  • Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
  • Check the report shows the fan was cleaned

Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.

Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
