Extract fan cleaning in Beddington
Any fan serving a kitchen in Beddington is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. Typical jobs include a fan left out of previous cleans and grease around the motor and its mounts, across roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and axial fans.
Kitchens in Beddington, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two for most single fans, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Beddington is usually out of hours.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.

What affects the quote in Beddington
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What we’re called out for in Beddington
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Burning smells from the fan area
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Beddington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether a survey comes first
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
FAQs for Beddington
Can you work in Beddington outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Beddington keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Beddington during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 41 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Beddington. You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Beddington
The Food Standards Agency lists about 32 pubs, bars and clubs and about 10 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Beddington. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Beddington sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Beddington get their food hygiene inspections from Sutton council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a café or takeaway near Waddon station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. A hospital like Croydon University Hospital, about 1.6 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An impeller that’s bent or split
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers

Part by part
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep records of every fan clean
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
