Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Blake End
Do you work at weekends in Blake End?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Blake End keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Blake End?
Yes. Blake End is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
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.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Extract fan cleaning in Blake End
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers discharge points, fan housings and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan with no cleaning record and hot, greasy smells near the fan.
Work in a small place like Blake End starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
Why deal with it now?
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 fault that closes a site in a village like Blake End affects everyone who depends on it.
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 make a difference.

How we price extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Damaged fan blades
- Wiring faults to the fan
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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. It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and we clear up before we go. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Blake End run smoothly.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
