What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Boyn Hill, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. A planned visit to Boyn Hill fits your hours; an emergency does not.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Extract fan cleaning in Boyn Hill, done properly
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. We’re often asked to deal with a smell of hot grease from the extract and grease escaping from the fan outlet, across in-line fans, fan housings and axial fans.
In a smaller place like Boyn Hill, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. We plan the journey to Boyn Hill and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What else we do in Boyn Hill
How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Boyn Hill
Can you come to Boyn Hill after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Boyn Hill keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Boyn Hill?
Yes. Boyn Hill 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.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Before and after pictures go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.

When to call us in Boyn Hill
How fast a fan gets greasy in Boyn Hill depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease stains around the discharge
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mark's Hospital about 1 mile north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
