Why act early in Berry's Green
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. A booked night’s work in Berry's Green costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Berry's Green questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Berry's Green?
Kitchens in Berry's Green are inspected by Bromley council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What do you need to know about parking in Berry's Green?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a job in Berry's Green, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Related advice
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Berry's Green?
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A motor area thick with grease
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Berry's Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Kitchen extracts in Berry's Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Berry's Green. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Berry's Green sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Make sure the fan is included each time
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
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.
