Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bells Yew Green
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. If you’re dealing with a fan shaking on its mounts and rough running from the extract fan, we can put it right, from fan housings, roof-mounted fans and discharge points onwards.
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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Check filters are seated before cooking
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.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Why act early in Bells Yew Green
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. With notice, the visit to Bells Yew Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
