What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Bowes Park saves time on the night.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
About our extract fan cleaning in Bowes Park
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. Typical jobs include a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and a fan that has never been cleaned, on centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings.
In a London area like Bowes Park, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The size of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Common problems we fix in Bowes Park
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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bowes Park is Greentrees Hospital, about 0.9 miles north-east.

Why act early in Bowes Park
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. It’s better booked as a planned job in Bowes Park than handled as an emergency.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.

What else we do in Bowes Park
Bowes Park kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 52 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bowes Park. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Bowes Park get their food hygiene inspections from Haringey council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Trinity Primary Academy or anywhere near Bowes Park, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near St Mary's Greek Orthodox Church, or anywhere in Bowes Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Common questions in Bowes Park
Does London parking affect a job in Bowes Park?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Bowes Park, and about any building rules on loading. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Do you work at weekends in Bowes Park?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Is Bowes Park in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Bowes Park included.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
