About our extract fan cleaning in Carter's Clay
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. If you’re dealing with burning smells from the fan area and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can put it right, from centrifugal fans, fan housings and discharge points onwards.
Somewhere as small as Carter's Clay, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Carter's Clay
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. The timing of a visit to Carter's Clay is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a 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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.

Common questions in Carter's Clay
Do you work overnight in Carter's Clay?

Do you work in villages like Carter's Clay?
Yes. Carter's Clay is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and give you a fixed quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
