How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
About our extract fan cleaning in Bromley Common
In Bromley Common, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers fan housings, roof-mounted fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are a fan left out of previous cleans and a heavily greased fan housing.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Bromley Common is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When to call us in Bromley Common
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A motor area thick with grease
- Weak extraction at the canopy
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Trinity Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Bromley Common, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What to look for in a quote
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they recommend a next date
What happens if it’s left?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Bromley Common questions
What do you need to know about parking in Bromley Common?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Bromley Common makes the visit easier to plan. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Can a school canteen extract in Bromley Common be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Bromley Common, the Food Standards Agency lists about 10 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so you always know what was cleaned.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Bromley Common kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 20 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs in and around Bromley Common, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. London Fire Brigade covers Bromley Common. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Bromley Common get their food hygiene inspections from Bromley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Bridgeways Day Hospital about less than half a mile east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near Holy Trinity Church or anywhere around Bromley Common, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What affects the quote in Bromley Common
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
If you need extract fan cleaning in Bromley Common, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- An impeller that’s bent or split
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans

What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If your building in Bromley Common has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- 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.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
