Extract fan cleaning in Clapham Park
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found, before signing it off. If you have hot, greasy smells near the fan and grease around the motor and its mounts, we can help, from discharge points, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Clapham Park, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
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.

Questions from Clapham Park
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Clapham Park in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Clapham Park, the Food Standards Agency lists about 56 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you work in Clapham Park outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Clapham Park needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is Clapham Park in your area?
Yes. Clapham Park is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
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 it takes a risk-based approach.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Grease, kitchens and Clapham Park
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 106 pubs, bars and clubs and about 9 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Clapham Park. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Clapham Park falls to London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
A hospital like St James' Hospital, about 1.4 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Where a hall near Church of the Holy Spirit, or anywhere in Clapham Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What affects the quote in Clapham Park
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Clapham Park?
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
For kitchens close to Clapham High Street station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Before booking anyone

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.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Clapham Park.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Leave it or put it right?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. In Clapham Park, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
