How we handle extract fan cleaning in Bulphan
Any fan serving a kitchen in Bulphan is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you’re dealing with a fan left out of previous cleans and a smell of hot grease from the extract, we can put it right, from centrifugal fans, fan housings and axial fans onwards.
In a London area like Bulphan, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. 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.
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, and we’re fully insured.

Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Bulphan questions
Can you come to Bulphan after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Bulphan needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Does London parking affect a job in Bulphan?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Damaged fan blades
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Bulphan is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Bulphan
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Rough running from the extract fan
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Bulphan, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
