Extract fan cleaning in Bromley, done properly
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that’s what we clean. If you’re dealing with vibration from an unbalanced impeller and burning smells from the fan area, we can put it right.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Bromley 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Bromley?
A greasy fan in Bromley is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Agnes RC Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Bromley: your questions answered
What do you need to know about parking in Bromley?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.
Which environmental health team covers Bromley?
That’s Tower Hamlets council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bromley. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we’ll tell you and quote for the repair.
How long is a fan clean?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
What happens on the day
We turn up 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 first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Bromley is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Bromley
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Kitchen extracts in Bromley
There are about 543 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 199 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bromley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Bromley sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Tower Hamlets council inspect food businesses in Bromley. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Bow Church or anywhere around Bromley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A hospital like St Clement's Hospital, about 0.5 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Bromley is about 2 miles east of Whitechapel, in Greater London. Sites in Bromley get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. We cover 764 places across Greater London, large and small.

If you need extract fan cleaning at premises on Bow Road, Bruce Road and Edgar Road or anywhere close by, we can help. Close by, we work in Three Mills (1 mile north-east), Mill Meads (1 mile north-east), Bow Common (1 mile south-west), Mile End (1 mile west) and Bow (1 mile north-west).

Local landmarks in Bromley
In Bromley, that means kitchens and buildings near Bob's Park, East London Arts & Music and Bow School. The nearest railway station is West Ham station, roughly 1 mile east of the centre. A little further out are Tower of London (2.8 miles south-west) and Stratford Centre (1.4 miles north-east). Not far away are Old Ford Island and Tower Hill.
Why deal with it now?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
