How we handle extract fan cleaning in Boreham Street
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: 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’re dealing with a noisy fan that has got louder over time and grease stains around the discharge, we can help, from roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and discharge points onwards.
In a small place like Boreham Street, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
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.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Common problems we fix in Boreham Street
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Boreham Street as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Boreham Street is Amberstone Hospital, about 4 miles west.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Boreham Street.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.

Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, next to our reports.
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’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
