Extract fan cleaning near Bedfont

Extract fan cleaning in Bedfont, done properly

Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. If you are dealing with a heavily greased fan housing and less air being pulled from the kitchen, we can help, from axial fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings onwards.

London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Bedfont, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.

The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, 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.

Part by part

Fan housings and motors

Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.

Inline duct fans

Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.

How the visit works

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Bedfont is usually out of hours.

  1. Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
  2. With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
  3. The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
  4. We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
  5. The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Bedfont

The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:

  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • The condition of the system
  • The times the site is available
  • Whether several sites go on one quote

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What we need to know

To help us quote quickly, please include:

  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Bedfont

Can you come to Bedfont after we close?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Bedfont needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Which fire authority looks after Bedfont?

Fire safety enforcement in Bedfont is handled by London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.

Where does the waste go?

Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.

What information do you need?

A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.

What happens if you can’t reach some of it?

They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.

How do you protect the area?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?

With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bedfont

Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. A busy site in Bedfont builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

  • Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
  • Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
  • One number for every site across the South East and London

Extract fan cleaning in Bedfont: the local picture

There are about 64 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 33 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bedfont, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Fire safety in Bedfont falls to London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.

Bursars and site managers at schools such as Fairholme Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Bedfont, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Ashford Hospital (about 1.4 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Bedfont is one of 764 towns, villages and districts in Greater London we cover for commercial clients. There’s also a page for London, roughly 15 miles from Bedfont.

Between visits

Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:

  • Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
  • Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
  • Notice when the fan starts to sound different
  • Flag smoke lingering at the canopy

When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. 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 catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

What a clean won’t put right

Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • A faulty speed controller or isolator
  • Grease in the canopy and ductwork
  • A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)

If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
