How we handle extract fan cleaning in Burlington Estate
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. We’re often asked to deal with an extract fan with no cleaning record and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, on centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Burlington Estate 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.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

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.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Burlington Estate questions
How do you handle parking and loading in Burlington Estate?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Burlington Estate, and about any building rules on loading. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Burlington Estate?
That is London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Burlington Estate?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover Burlington Estate?
Yes. Our technicians work in Burlington Estate, within the South East and London area we cover.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
When to call us in Burlington Estate
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, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Weak extraction at the canopy
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Burlington Estate (Burlington House is about 0.1 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

What else we do in Burlington Estate
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Keep records of every fan clean
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Burlington Estate is no exception.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
