How we handle extract fan cleaning in Bidden
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. Typical jobs include a fan left out of previous cleans and a heavily greased fan housing, across centrifugal fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans.
In a village or hamlet like Bidden, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Why deal with it now?
A fan clean in Bidden does not take long: the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. It’s simpler to plan the work at Bidden now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Report rattles or humming early
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep records of every fan clean
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
When something else is needed
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A motor that has burnt out
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Common questions in Bidden
Can the work in Bidden be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Bidden doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Will you come out to Bidden?
Yes. Bidden is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking is not affected.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Bidden?
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Robert May's School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
