Brimsdown: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Brimsdown?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Brimsdown keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What do you need to know about parking in Brimsdown?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Brimsdown, and about any building rules on loading. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Brimsdown
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers axial fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans, and common reasons people get in touch are less air being pulled from the kitchen and hot, greasy smells near the fan.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Brimsdown, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
A written report with pictures 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.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Brimsdown
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Brimsdown and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. 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 a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In Brimsdown, as across London, we usually work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

What affects the quote in Brimsdown
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Damaged fan blades
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brimsdown
A fan clean in Brimsdown doesn’t take long: it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
