Extract fan cleaning in Chadwell Heath
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers in-line fans, centrifugal fans and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan shaking on its mounts and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
Kitchens in Chadwell Heath, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Why deal with it now?

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 any work starts.

FAQs for Chadwell Heath
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Chadwell Heath in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 38 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Chadwell Heath. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you come to Chadwell Heath after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Chadwell Heath does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How long is a fan clean?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
The fan follows the full system’s interval at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Want a quote for extract fan cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Chadwell Heath.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
When something else is needed
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
