Managing agents and facilities teams in Broom Hill
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
About our extract fan cleaning in Broom Hill
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. Common call-outs are for a fan shaking on its mounts and rough running from the extract fan, on in-line fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
Kitchens in Broom Hill, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Broom Hill kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 110 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 62 takeaways across Broom Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. London Fire Brigade covers Broom Hill. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run a café or takeaway near Orpington station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Broom Hill is Orpington Hospital, about 1.3 miles south.
Broom Hill is about 1 mile south-west of Orpington, in Greater London. Broom Hill gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. We cover 764 places across Greater London, large and small. There’s also a page for London, roughly 12 miles from Broom Hill.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Report rattles or humming early
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Broom Hill questions
Do you work at weekends in Broom Hill?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Broom Hill needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Broom Hill?
Kitchens in Broom Hill are inspected by Bromley council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Do you cover Broom Hill?
Yes. Broom Hill is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
When to call us in Broom Hill
A greasy fan in Broom Hill is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Broom Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Broom Hill is typically out of hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quotes are quick. 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.
Why act early in Broom Hill
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. It’s better booked as a planned job in Broom Hill than handled as an emergency.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

- We are fully insured
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- One number for every site across the South East and London
