About our extract fan cleaning in Bounds Green
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. Common call-outs are for a fan that no longer moves enough air and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, on axial fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings.
In a London area like Bounds Green, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

When to call us in Bounds Green
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Greentrees Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bounds Green, about 1.1 miles east.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
What a clean won’t put right
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. Planning ahead in Bounds Green lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Bounds Green
Can a school canteen extract in Bounds Green be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 42 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bounds Green. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work overnight in Bounds Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Bounds Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you work in Bounds Green?
Yes. We cover Bounds Green and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep records of every fan clean
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Bounds Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Bounds Green needs from us.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
