Extract fan cleaning in Bunkers Hill, done properly
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. If you are dealing with a fan shaking on its mounts and an extract fan with no cleaning record, we can help, from axial fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans onwards.
In a small place like Bunkers Hill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Part by part
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that won’t start
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans

- In-line fans
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep access to the fan clear
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Bunkers Hill
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
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 any work starts.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In a small place like Bunkers Hill, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
